Description

Gain a deeper understanding of one of Africa's most significant historical events with Writing the Nigeria-Biafra War by James Currey. This volume provides a detailed examination of the conflict that lasted from 6 July 1966 to 15 January 1970. It explores how the post-colonial Nigerian state attempted to reintegrate the South-Eastern region after its secession as the Republic of Biafra. By analyzing key contemporary accounts alongside a range of subsequent texts, this book reveals the core ideas behind the conflict. It looks at how different narratives frame the events of the war and what those perspectives mean for the modern Nigerian nation. Readers will find a thorough study of the trends and methodologies found in civil war writings, covering both fictional and non-fictional works. This is an essential resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in military history and the ideological divisions of a newly independent nation.
