Biafra: The Nigerian Civil War 1967-1970 (Africa@War) Paperback – Illustrated, January 19, 2015

Interesting and well informed narrative of the 67-70 war in Nigeria.Appears at an interesting time (2017) as the same conflict is now again going on.It is clear that Africa (see South Africa also) is a failed continent.Why do we pretend it is not.

A basic narrative of a war of last resort fated from the beginning to be lost.

delivered quickly. For those who want the basic historical overview .

I enjoyed this, would give it 3.5 stars if I could. Good photographs and breaks down the politics fairly well. I felt it was a little light on describing equipment, organization and military operations...I was hoping for more nuts and bolts. I love the "Africa @ War" series and wanted to love this volume. It was good but left me a little underwhelmed.

Precise and factual, this brief book on the Biafran Civil War is excellent.

This book is a good introduction to a subject that seldom receives attention.

Great reading!
