"The gripping story of political refugee David Ngaruri Kenney's harrowing odyssey through the Kafkaesque world of immigration processing in the United States ... [written from Kenney's perspective, it] tells of his near-murder, imprisonment, and torture in Kenya; his remarkable escape to the United States; and teh obstacle course of ordeals and proceedings he faced as U.S. government agencies sought to deport him to Kenya.
