The struggle for modern Nigeria : the Biafran war, 1967-1970

Gould, Michael2013
Book
Media coverage in the 1960s and 70s represented the Biafran war as a grand humanitarian disaster characterised by sustained conflict, starvation and genocide. This book questions this depiction and seeks to answer some fundamental questions, such as how this avoidable conflict came about and why the war became so drawn out.
