A major work of history that for the first time reveals the violence and terror at the heart of Britain's civilizing mission in Kenya

As part of the Allied forces, thousands of Kenyans fought alongside the British in World War II. But just a few years after the defeat of Hitler, the British colonial government detained nearly the entire population of Kenya's largest ethnic minority, the Kikuyu-some one and a half million people.

The compelling story of the system of prisons and work camps where thousands met their deaths has remained largely untold-the victim of a determined effort by the British to destroy all official records of their attempts to stop the Mau Mau uprising, the Kikuyu people's ultimately successful bid for Kenyan independence.

Caroline Elkins, an assistant professor of history at Harvard University, spent a decade in London, Nairobi, and the Kenyan countryside interviewing hundreds of Kikuyu men and women who survived the British camps, as well as the British and African loyalists who detained them.

The result is an unforgettable account of the unraveling of the British colonial empire in Kenya-a pivotal moment in twentieth- century history with chilling parallels to America's own imperial project.

Imperial Reckoning is the winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction.

Fresh and clean
I'm not fully sold on blackhead removal, but I do like that it cleans dead skin and leaves a fresh, clean feeling. Will try for a couple more weeks to see if it makes any difference

Brighter, smoother skin within a week
This Peeling Shot Glow Rice Ampoule Duo has easily earned a permanent spot on my bathroom shelf. The day and night combo really does make a difference — the daytime ampoule brightens and smooths, while the nighttime formula deeply hydrates and helps my skin recover overnight. After about a week, I noticed a natural glow that even my partner commented on (and that’s saying something).The rice-based formula is gentle but still effective — it exfoliates without irritation, even on sensitive skin like mine. It has a clean, light scent and a silky texture that absorbs fast without feeling sticky. I use it on my face and occasionally on rougher areas like elbows and neck, and everything feels softer and more even-toned.It’s refreshing to find a product that delivers real results without harsh chemicals or heavy fragrances. The dual bottles also look sleek and keep my routine simple — one for day, one for night, done. I currently recommend this product. If anything changes I will update my review accordingly.

Excellent product!!!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been getting into more natural skincare lately, especially beef tallow products, so I wanted to try a sunscreen like this. I like that it uses tallow along with zinc oxide for protection. The texture is smooth and not overly greasy, and it blends in better than I expected for a mineral sunscreen. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized. I’ve used it on both my face and body, and it feels comfortable throughout the day. It’s also been good with my daughter’s skin, even though she has skin problems, which has been a big plus for us.
