To understand Africa, one must understand Nigeria, and few
Americans understand Nigeria better than Karl Maier. "This House
Has Fallen" is a bracing and disturbing report on the state of
Africa's most populous, potentially richest, and most dangerously
dysfunctional nation.Each year, with depressing consistency,
Nigeria is declared the most corrupt state in the entire world.
Though Nigeria is a nation into which billions of dollars of oil
money flow, its per capita income has fallen dramatically in the
past two decades. Military coup follows military coup. A bellwether
for Africa, it is a country of rising ethnic tensions and falling
standards of living, very possibly on the verge of utter collapse
-- a collapse that could dramatically overshadow even the massacres
in Rwanda.A brilliant piece of reportage and travel writing, "This
House Has Fallen"looks into the Nigerian abyss and comes away with
insight, profound conclusions, and even some hope. Updated with a
new preface by the author.
