ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The team at Putnam never quits. Thanks to Neil, Ivan, Leslie, Tom, Kate, and everyone else at 375 Hudson. To Heather Schroder, the agent next door. To Jeffrey Gettleman, foreign correspondent extraordinaire, and J. Peter Pham, for answering all my dumb questions about East Africa’s politics. (Mistakes are mine alone.) To Martin and all the other Kenyans who introduced me to one of the world’s most beautiful and fascinating countries. I hope to return many times. To my family for their counsel on this book and so much else. And of course, to my beautiful and talented wife, Jackie, and Lucy, our little girl. May she be the best of both of us.
If you got this far, you’ve earned my email address, which is: alexberensonauthor@gmail.com. I welcome all comments and suggestions. For seven years now I’ve responded to every email I receive, and I hope to keep that string alive. Meantime, see you on Facebook and Twitter.
’Til next year.
