Trade Review
“A historical investigation of the highest caliber.”
“In telling the story of (Ouko’s) death, Cohen and Odhiambo draw upon a rich array of official reports and journalistic investigations into the crime. With careful research and insightful presentation, Cohen and Odhiambo do not explicitly solve this ‘who-dunnit’, but they do tease out a multiplicity of themes about Kenya’s recent political past.”
