Unable to remain silent, Githongo, at great personal risk, made the painful choice to go public. The result was a Kenyan Watergate. Michela Wrong's account of how a pillar of the establishment turned whistle-blower?becoming simultaneously one of the most hated and admired men in Kenya?grips like a political thriller while probing the very roots of the continent's predicament.
