ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This book could never have been written without the help and support of many people. Whether such assistance amounted to the answering of letters and telephone calls, or submitting to the trauma of a lengthy interview or – as in some cases – the offer of generous hospitality, I am deeply grateful and wish to thank everyone involved. Some informants wished for anonymity and are therefore not named here, nevertheless my thanks to those persons is included. I am particularly indebted to the Markham family, the Bathurst Norman family and Mr Nigel Clutterbuck.

I wish to record an immense debt to my agent and friend, John Belcher, who provided incalculable help and support during the entire project. John died with devastating suddenness a few weeks before this book was published and so never saw the results of his hard work on my behalf. My thanks to a large number of friends who loaned books and magazine articles, and to Andrea Ranson and Patricia Taylor Chalmers at Century Hutchinson. Finally – but certainly not least – my editors: Tony Whittome at Century Hutchinson, and Susan Rabiner at St Martin's Press; both of whom have made many constructive suggestions and with whom it has been my great privilege to work.

In addition to assistance from individuals, I have received enormous help from the staff of organizations and libraries. In particular I should like to thank the staff of the Salisbury (Wiltshire) Public Library, who have diligently acquired out-of-date and rare books on Kenya on my behalf; and to the staff in the archive room of Standard Newspapers in Nairobi.
