Warriors and Strangers

This book is a compelling read. To those who like to read about the desert, about different people, about hardship and courage, this is it. The best book I have read. It was out of print for quite some time and it's a big relief it's back. Buy it while you can because there is nothing better.

Picked this up about two weeks ago, and found it hard to put it down. Story is of Hanley and his time as a British officer in Somanli in WWII, then a visit back there in 1962. Then his time in Kenya. Wonderful views of the tribes, and what they could become after the war. Should have been read before our 1990 Black Hawk Down story. Always wonderful to read about what was, and then to see what has become of a country. Then his observations of Kenya, and Masai and the other tribes. Good story of the Indians and Whites leaving Kenya in the late 1960s.
