Recommendable! However, this video tries maybe too hard to whitewash the brutal Mau Mau insurgency! It appears to have become a leftist dogma that the casualties and atrocities inflicted by the British were far higher than the civilians killed or mutilated by Mau Mau. However, there was the the lack of means by the Mau Mau to do more killings.
Then there is the issue that the Mau Mau despite the many civilian casualties did not give up, the rebellion lasted from 1952-1960. Why did the Mau Mau not opt for a more peaceful resistance a la Mahatma Gandhi?
I think, further research is needed.
