Publisher Description:
Chief Bai Bureh took up arms against the powerful British authorities who had colonized Sierra Leone and who had imposed what he saw as unjust taxes on his people. Learn in this fascinating story of the Hut Tax War why Bai Bureh earned the nickname Kebalai, 'the one who does not tire of war'. Learn how he used wily tactics to outsmart the British, though they had superior forces and strength. You will learn about some of Sierra Leone's earliest encounters with the British. Although ultimately defeated, Bai Bureh remains a potent symbol of defiance and standing up for your rights and what you believe is just. Sierra Leoneans to this day revere Bai Bureh as a key figure in their history.
