A Book Review - Not yet uhuru Book by Jaramogi Oginga Odinga

Published 1967 Reviewer the 5th Estate As far as memoirs books go, this fits the genre well. It is written from Odinga's perspective after breaking with the post-independence KANU government and so carries with it a impassioned critique of Kenyatta's govt, a defense and esteeming of his own actions and centrality in Kenya's political development, and the rightness of his resigning from KANU and starting KPU. His fixation with all things political makes this a supremely valuable book for its insight and information in the development, creation, and dissipation of Kenyas many political groups over the last 80+ years. Well worth the read - if a bit preachy at times - and really good for any one interested in Kenya s modern history.
