All this clamour for segregation and independence is fuelled mostly by the appellation to the ignorance of the ignorant, and at the end of the day the ignorant will suffer while those doing the fuelling will go Scot free, every head honcho on both side is guilty still. This is the story I want to share and this book is the perfect avenue to show this. reading this book I was Osime, always the skeptic and stickler for hope in the goodness of humanity until you realise that those who claim to lead so called humanity are even more barbaric than those being led.

Prior to this, I had read several books on the biafran war but sincerely speaking reading this book with my young mind gave me a very different and balanced perspective of the war.
