This was a good book though once I visited Wikipedia to learn more about the Biafra war, it was harder to keep reading. While reading the book, I recommend not learning about it if you don’t already know. It’s kind of amazing I didn’t know about it already. That must be why the author wrote it - so many of us in the US were so unaware of what was happening and the real cause behind it. Tragic. Excellently done and wonderfully narrated.
