Her book sets out the historical background to today's covert war, including the early Somali jihads and British repression in colonial Kenya, through to the 1998 US Embassy Bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, and President Clinton's early rendition programme. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAmerica's Covert War in East Africa\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethen looks at the US Military's new Africa Command, with its emphasis on counterterrorism, alongside increasing use of targeted killings by security forces in the region, and continued renditions and secret detention.
