Making The Cut: The Autobiography of ...
"Indeed, it was a bullet! The patient remembered that he had been shot by colonial forces at the start of the MAU MAU war in 1952. He had survived the shot and literally forgot about it until the present moment, 36 years later, when I asked if he had ever been shot in the past. The patient was of course, after all, the freedom fighter par excellence, Waruhiu Itote, better known as 'General China.'"
--
In this unflinching memoir, Kenya’s first thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon, Prof. Peter Amollo Odhiambo, reflects on a life shaped by bold decisions, quiet sacrifices, and a relentless drive to serve.
As a young man, he left home on a scholarship to study in India, joining elite medical institutions at a time when few Africans had such access. Though he had every opportunity to remain abroad, he chose instead to return and help shape Kenya’s medical future. This decision would soon lead him to a pivotal moment early in his career, when he performed a delicate surgery to remove a colonial bullet from the chest of Mau Mau freedom fighter General China.
Prof. Odhiambo would go on to train generations of doctors at the University of Nairobi, where his influence can still be felt in hospitals across the country. But his impact reached far beyond the classroom or the theatre. In the 1990s and 2000s, Prof. Odhiambo became a national advocate for tobacco control, confronting powerful multinationals and helping draft legislation that still protects Kenyans from the deadly effects of secondhand smoke.
Told in his own words, 'Making the Cut' is more than a record of medical firsts. It is a personal and historical journey through post-independence Kenya, seen through the eyes of a man who has never stopped believing in excellence, justice, and the power of public service.

Never Say Die: The Chronicle of a Pol...
"... I saw lamentations of inmates who had passed through the pipeline. Some had just decided to put their names down and announce that they were in a cell at one time. Others had inscribed phrases like: 'Expect no mercy, 'South Africa is here, 'Not yet uhuru' and 'I am lost'. I added mine: "NEVER SAY DIE"- Wanyiri Kihoro
At 2.30 a.m. on the morning of 30th July, 1986, a squad of police officers from Changamwe Police Station, Mombasa, stormed Wanyiri Kihoro's residence. They conducted a house search that did not yield anything incriminating, but this was the beginning of a long stretch of confinement for Wanyiri Kihoro. Over the next five days, he was moved from police station to police station, from city to city, without ever being charged. He spent seventy days in subterranean darkness- nude, starved, assaulted and waterlogged; he was in detention for nine hundred and fifty-six days.
In this book, Wanyiri Kihoro relives the 1035 days he spent at the mercy of a security system gone berserk, at the height of a crackdown on political dissent during President Moi's dictatorial regime. His struggle to survive, his will to stay alive and his desire for justice made this ordeal the most sensational security, diplomatic and judicial quagmire in post-independence Kenya.

My Island, My Pain: An Odyssey From M...
My Island, My Pain is an epic chronicle of loss, betrayal, endurance, and self-discovery, tracing the turbulent life of Atobi amid the gradual collapse of a family undone by desire, manipulation, and grief. The narrative begins with his father, Richard, a disciplined and enterprising man whose labor transforms water into wealth and vision into stability. Through boats, fishing, and a thriving general shop, Richard builds prosperity, respect, and comfort for his household.
At the heart of this success is his first wife, Janet, barren yet dignified, carrying the quiet anguish of childlessness. Though devoted, she senses Richard’s yearning for an heir, a longing that leaves a silent wound. Into this vulnerability steps Grace, calculated, entitled, and perceptive, enticing Richard and exploiting his desire for continuity and legacy. Recognizing her barrenness and unwilling to face humiliation or rivalry, Janet leaves a resigned act of self-preservation. With Janet gone, Grace becomes Richard’s second wife, and the union marks the start of profound misfortune.
Grace possesses an innate skill for manipulating men, offering Richard hope for children and legacy while positioning herself for dominance. Under the influence of her brother, Odero, and her mother, Nyakaswanga, she gradually turns against him. Together, they orchestrate the systematic squandering of Richard’s wealth. Years of labor collapse under deception, extravagance, and calculated exploitation. Grace’s infidelity and emotional manipulation erode Richard’s confidence, identity, and authority, leaving him emotionally and financially broken.
The family’s decline accelerates with the tragic death of Richard’s son, Sila, from complicated malaria. Delayed care, traditional medicine, and hospital strikes culminate in loss. Overwhelmed, Richard retreats to Siro Island, leaving Grace and the children behind in a home stripped of warmth and guidance. Grace’s neglect intensifies; she squanders what remains of the family’s wealth, offering control without care, authority without affection. Any hope of reconciliation with Richard dies; the bond is irreparably shattered.
The children, especially Atobi, endure instability, displacement, and emotional deprivation. Relocation to Hama Island deepens the sense of rootlessness. Grace’s increasing control and performative religiosity widen the emotional rift rather than heal it. Amid this chaos, Atobi finds refuge in education. Books and discipline become his sanctuary, and academic excellence his quiet rebellion against a legacy of dysfunction. Later, abandoned again and sent to live with a cousin under harsh conditions, he endures with resolve. Each hardship strengthens his character; each betrayal sharpens his determination.
Ultimately, My Island, My Pain is more than a tale of familial collapse. It meditates on power, desire, betrayal, and the resilience forged through suffering. Atobi’s journey demonstrates that even amid loss, manipulation, and emotional ruin, a determined spirit can rise unyoked from inherited pain and shape a future defined by hard-won strength, wisdom, and self-authorship.
