Ngugi wa thiongo's 'the river between' is a gud book about whitemans education and their vices. I recommend the book for the kenyans abroad.

Hi guys
Slave by Mende Nazer, she talks about how she was kidnapped and taken to London when she was only 12 years old.
Its a very moving story, its good to read it.
Another book is MAYADA, DAUGHTER OF IRAQ, very good, talks about a lady who was kidnapped for printing anti-regime pamphlets, she was kidnapped by Sadam Hussein soldiers and tortured.
