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.
