Summary:

The Nigerian civil war of the late 1960s was one of the first
occasions when Western consciences were awakened and deeply affronted
by the level of the suffering and the scale of the atrocity being
played out in the African Continent.This book which marked Frederick
Forsyth's transition from journalist to author is a record of one of
the most brutal conflicts the Third World has ever suffered, it has
become a classic of modern war reporting. But it is more than that.
It voices one man's outrage not only at the extremes of human
violence, but also at the duplicity and self-interest of the Western
Governments - most notably, the British, who tacitly accepted or
actively aided that violence.The combination of the dramatic events
and the shocking exposures combined with the author's forthright and
perceptive style makes The Biafra Story as compelling a read today as
when it was first written.
