Overview

At the onset of the Mau Mau insurgency, the one and only prophet of the Agikuyu writes down the name of The Last Mau Mau--a conquering hero who is destined to usher in a period of Agikuyu dominance and prosperity throughout Kenya--and seals it in a brown envelop for future unsealing. In the coming years, as white settlers move into the productive Agikuyu land and box the natives into just twenty percent of their snatched land, and as Jomo Kenyatta is detained in Lodwar and General China is captured and Chief Waruhiu is killed and Field Marshall Dedan Kimathi is arrested, the words of the prophecy begin to ring hollow. Then Kenya becomes independent and the prophecy is nearly forgotten. But when--on October 4, 2007--Uhuru Kenyatta abdicates his role as the Opposition Leader and endorses President Mwai Kibaki for a second term, the stage is finally set for the dramatic fulfillment of the Mau Mau prophecy. Within days, the insular Agikuyu will find out the secret that was sealed in the brown envelop and will learn the identity of the man or woman who will rekindle nationalism and lead them to a period of unrivaled wealth, power and eternal optimism. They'll learn the identity of ...The Last Mau Mau.
