2 comments about Kenya Diary (1902-1906).
- After reading Peter Capsticks book about Meinertzhagen I had to read his own account. It was an enlightening account of what life was like for a young British officer in the early 1900's in Kenya. It is somewhat supprising the efforts that it took to maintain control of the wild colony in that date and time. The diary describes numerous military compaigns against native tribes (like the Nandi). Written as a true diary account, its condor, detail, and occasional natural history observations make for interesting reading. Some of his observations and predictions are right on the money in describing later events that unfold in Kenya. One note, there is a lot of killing in this book, not for the faint of heart.
- The book about Richard Meinertzhagen's life in Kenya between 1902-6 is mainly about the military expeditions he participated in. It is a worth while insight into the the country known as Kenya today. Richard Meinertzhagen comes off as blood thirsty, a racist of the first order and as having a complete disregard for human life (he himself writes that he has no special regard of human life). He gloats over the number of africans killed and continues to emphasize how 50 years after the events, he has no regrets and would do it exactly the same way if it came back again.
That aside, it is full of details and tid-bits of valuable information that would be very usefull if not for the fact that Richard Meinertzhagen's other writtings have been thoroughly discretited. Because of this, there are a number of suspect entries entries that could have been inserted much later.
