It's Our Turn to Eat
The Story of a Kenyan Whistle-Blower
"A fast-paced political thriller.... Wrong's gripping, thoughtful book stands as both a tribute to Githongo's courage and a cautionary tale." --New York Times Book Review
"On one level, It's Our Turn to Eat reads like a John Le Carr' novel.... On a deeper and much richer level, the book is an analysis of how and why Kenya descended into political violence." -- Washington Post
Called "urgent and important" by Harper's magazine, It's Our Turn to Eat is a nonfiction political thriller of modern Kenya--an eye-opening account of tribal rivalries, pervasive graft, and the rising anger of a prospect-less youth that exemplifies an African dilemma.
