Biafra: Conflicts, Principles, and Death of The General: A Research Perspective

This book gives a general overview of the issues. disagreements, and conflicts that led to the Nigeria-Biafra civil war. Although the Igbo race became the victim of the 1966 crisis that started with leadership struggles among Yoruba leaders, Igbos have been, both to themselves and other Nigerians, made to look like the villains. This book, strives to show the real villains, based on concrete historical facts and not on propaganda and distortions of facts. Information from previously classified documents has shed more light on such questions as: What led to the war? Was there a calculated genocide planned against the Igbos? Why did the Northern Nigerian leaders not stop the pogrom on the easterners and mid-western Igbos? What roles did Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Muhammed, Theophilus Danjuma, Muhammadu Buhari, Shehu Yar' Adua, Ibrahim Babangida, Sanegeria (Sani) Abacha, and others play in the crisis and the subsequent mass killing of Igbos? To some historians, the war started with the genocide against the Igbos in northern Nigeria. To others, it started with the failure of the Aburi accord. All these opinions and perspectives are presented in this book.
