520			_aFar from having to "scram from Africa" following the abandonment of her "East of Suez" role, and despite the problems of Mau Mau, and even the Suez debacle on a larger international stage, Britain continued to vigorously pursue imperial African interests. And Kenya was centerstage. Much scholarship has been devoted to the Emergency (1952-60), fear of a post-Mau Mau civil war, de-colonization, and setting upindependent Kenya, but little has been published on British policy in pursuing her vital interests beyond independence. Britain, Kenya and the Cold War, shows Britain maintaining her strategic priorities in Kenya - cultivating the moderate Kenyatta government, giving up the unacceptable colonial army base, but retaining military camps, rights of overflying, staging and training, and arming and training the Kenyan military, including internal security. Kenyan de-colonization and British defense interests were intimately linked and vital within the context of the Cold War and East-West regional rivalry.
