The book delves into the historical conflict between socialism and capitalism in Kenya, highlighting how capitalism emerged victorious with support from Western powers at independence in 1963. It examines the violent suppression of socialist advocates by leaders like Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel Arap Moi, who instilled a climate of fear to maintain control. By analyzing documents from key political parties and movements, it reveals the enduring desire for socialism among the populace and critiques the oversimplified narratives that overlook class and ideological struggles.
