 The new book which is among the first academic book produced by University students is already national best selling in the Country and is likely going to generate hot debate.
The book is nothing more that what happened during the 2007 election violence in which properties were destroyed and numerous people died
 During the historical project students talked to victims both in Nairobi slum which were affected and in the Rift valley which was hot spot according to local media and international communities.
 The 299 pages book PEACE BUILDING AND CONFLICT MANAGEMENT makes a good reading for both students, academia and politicians who are to be blamed for violence
