Widely acknowledged to be a member of the top tier of African nationalist leaders, he was also one of Kenya's founding fathers. Using Mboya's papers in addition to several other archives, Daniel Branch demonstrates how much of his political success at home and abroad was derived from his cultivation and adept use of an extensive international network of supporters, particularly in the United States. A Man of the World explores how Mboya built this network among civil rights activists, labour leaders and political figures. Branch explores in detail the great controversies that Mboya's global network created within Kenyan politics up until his assassination in July 1969, particularly the funding he received from sources connected to the CIA. In doing so, this study sets Kenya's decolonisation in its global context and demonstrates how the Cold War influenced its outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 02, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48394012786909,"sku":"9781009715492","price":69.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/EuCxXnqyQB9781009715492.webp?v=1787159518","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/a-man-of-the-world-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
