From rear cover notes: "Thunder from the Mountains: Mau Mau Patriotic Songs reproduces for the first time in English the actual songs sung by the Mau Mau in the villages and forest s of Kenya as they fought against the British in the great rising of the 1950s. Here they express in their own words the themes that dominated their struggle - the demand for land, the call to arms, the heroism of battle, the horrors of imprisonment, the treachery of the collaborator. This is 'people's history' at its most authentic - the hopes and perceptions of ordinary human beings as they struggle to take control of history and win their liberation."
