First reprint (first pub 1969), good+ tight condition but pages lightly browned and some light scuffing to covers, 237 pages, -----------------"What are the historical, military, political and economic factors which have added up to this ghastly picture of a small nation fighting with its back to the wall? In this Penguin Special an experienced journalist, writing from an unashamedly Biafran point of view, traces the origins of the civil war to its roots in tribal antagonisms and British colonial policy. He describes the 2 'coups' of 1966 and the provocations that led up to Biafra's secession in May 1967; in his account of the war's progress he shows how attempts to relieve starvation in Biafra have been frustrated at every turn and how the so-called 'peace conferences' were no more than empty charades. The Biafra Story, in short, is a shocking indictment of the military clique which controls the Nigerian Federal Government and of the Labour Government which has consistently supported it, not least with arms."
