6 There are other accounts of counter-gang operations that challenge Kitson's claim to have originated the technique: Ian Henderson with Philip Goodheart, The Hunt for Kimathi (London, 1958); Dennis Holman, Bwana Drum (London, 1964); Guy Campbell, The Charging Buffalo (London, 1986). The most balanced assessment is provided by Michael Dewar, who eulogises the technique 'as one of the more imaginative examples of British military inventiveness' and then goes on to emphasise that while others certainly helped introduce the technique, 'it was Frank Kitson who really seized upon the idea and developed it with such success', Brush Fire Wars (London, 1984), p. 60. |
