Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Die vorliegende Studie ist eine sozialgeschichtliche Bestandsaufnahme des nigerianischen Bürgerkriegs (""Biafra-Krieg"", 1967- 70) und seiner Nachkriegszeit. Die Studie verfolgt den Ansatz einer ""Geschichte von unten"", die die Erfahrungen und Einschätzungen solcher Menschen aufzeichnet und darstellt, die (etwa im Gegensatz zu Politikern und Generälen) üblicherweise keine Memoiren über die Kriegszeit veröffentlichen. Thematisiert werden das Alltagsleben unter Kriegsbedingungen und die Schicksale von Flüchtlingen und Frauen; die Erfahrungen mit militärischer Gewalt und die Wahrnehmung der ""großen Politik"" durch die ""einfachen Leute""; die oft traumatische Erfahrung des Kriegsendes und die Probleme des Wiederaufbaus nach 1970. Neben den Erfahrungen der Kriegs- und Nachkriegszeit selbst analysiert die vorliegende Studie die Art und Weise, wie der Krieg heute wahrgenommen und interpretiert wird. Damit leistet sie auch einen Beitrag zum Verständnis heutiger nigerianischer Poltitik, vor allem aus Sicht der vormals vom Bürgerkrieg betroffenen Regionen. This is a social history study of the Nigerian Civil War (`Biafran War', 1967 - 70) and post-war reconstruction after 1970, written as a `history from below'. It records experiences and perceptions of people from within the former war-affected area who - unlike a number of famous politicians and generals - normally do not publish autobiographies. Topics covered are: everyday life under war conditions and the experiences of vulnerable groups, like refugees and women; the experience of military violence and the perception of politics by `ordinary' people; the experience of the end of the war, traumatic in many cases; and the problems people faced in the reconstruction process after 1970. The study also looks at the ways the war experience is viewed and interpreted in South-Eastern Nigeria today. Thereby, it also contributes to the understanding of current politics in Nigeria, particularly from the perspective of the former war-affected area. Axel Harneit-Sievers is Research Fellow of the Centre for Modern Oriental Studies in Berlin. Jones O. Ahazuem is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of History, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Sydney Emezue teaches history in the School of Humanities, Abia State University, Uturu. Co-published with Jemezie Publishers, Nigeria. "

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War: No Victor, No Vanquished analyzes the continued impact of the Nigeria-Biafra war on the Igbo, the failure of the reconstruction and reconciliation effort in the post-war period, and the politics of exclusion of the memory of the war in public discourse in Nigeria. Furthermore, New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War explores the resilience of the Igbo people and the different strategies they have employed to preserve the history and memory of Biafra. The contributors argue that the war had important consequences for the socio-political developments in the post-war period, ushering in two differing ideologies: a paternalistic ideology of “co-option” of the Igbo by the Nigerian state, under the false premise of ‘No Victor, No Vanquished,” and the Igbo commitment to self-preservation on the other.

This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Biafra lasted for less than three years, but the war over its secession would contort Nigeria for decades to come. Samuel Fury Childs Daly examines the history of the Nigerian Civil War and its aftermath from an uncommon vantage point – the courtroom. Wartime Biafra was glutted with firearms, wracked by famine, and administered by a government that buckled under the weight of the conflict. In these dangerous conditions, many people survived by engaging in fraud, extortion, and armed violence. When the fighting ended in 1970, these survival tactics endured, even though Biafra itself disappeared from the map. Based on research using an original archive of legal records and oral histories, Daly catalogues how people navigated conditions of extreme hardship on the war front, and shows how the conditions of the Nigerian Civil War paved the way for the country's long experience of crime that was to follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, Rosina 'Rose' Martin married John Umelo, a young Nigerian she met on a London Tube station platform, eventually moving to Nigeria with him and their children. As Rose taught Classics in Enugu, they found themselves caught up in Nigeria's Civil War, which followed the 1967 secession of Eastern Nigeria--now named Biafra. The family fled to John's ancestral village, then moved from place to place as the war closed in. When it ended in 1970, up to 2 million had died, most from starvation. Rose ('worse off than some, better off than many') had kept notes, capturing the reality of living in Biafra--from excitement in the beginning to despair towards the end. Immediately after the war, Rose turned her notes into a narrative that described the ingenious ways Biafrans made do, still hoping for victory while their territory shrank and children starved by the thousand. Now anthropologist S. Elizabeth Bird contextualizes Rose's story, providing background on the progress of the war and international reaction to it. Edited and annotated, Rose's vivid account of life as a Biafran 'Nigerwife' offers a fresh, new look at hope and survival through a brutal war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium of speeches chronicles statements delivered by notable participants in the Nigerian-Biafran War (1967-1970) in local and global forums. The first volume includes speeches on the civil war from the Biafran and Nigerian Federal perspectives. The intellectual content of these speeches is an irresistible for understanding both the conflict and the politics of modern Africa. The Nigerian Military leader, Major-General Yakubu Gowon, and Biafran leader, Lieutenant-Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, used speeches to justify their causes in the conflict. Along with the recorded experiences and memories of the war, the speeches of the Biafran and Federal leaders serve as the major component of the war history. Despite all that has been writing on the Nigerian-Biafran War, these speeches better document an understanding and interpretation of the war. The speeches by national actors demonstrated intense global reactions that trailed the Nigerian civil war. They used their speeches in the war to pass a message either on the need to initiate a political solution to the conflict, a call for a global humanitarianism, support for the sovereign independent state and Republic of Biafra or support for the maintenance of the Nigerian unity. This collection endeavors to tell the story of the war through adequate compilation of the speeches from the Biafran and Federal perspectives.

Book excerpt: In 1966, several waves of rioting in northern Nigeria culminated in the brutal massacre of thousands of easterners by their northern Nigerian counterparts. Sensing that their safety could no longer be guaranteed, the easterners fled to the eastern region and established an independent nation called Biafra. Refusing to accept her sovereignty, Nigeria waged a thirty-month war against Biafra, targeting air assaults at civilian locations, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of children, women, and the elderly. Nigeria used land and sea blockade to prevent relief food from reaching hungry masses in Biafra and thousands of children died from a form of malnutrition called kwashiorkor. At the end of it all in 1970, two million people had perished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium of speeches chronicles statements delivered by notable participants in the Nigerian-Biafran War (1967-1970) in local and global forums. This second volume chronicles African and global perspectives. Despite all that has been writing on the Nigerian-Biafran War, these speeches better document an understanding and interpretation of the war. The speeches of world leaders who participated in the war have never before been adequately documented. Whether the speeches were made for or against the Republic of Biafra, their assembly here is vitally important for what they tell us about the Nigerian civil war and its repercussions across the globe. Speechifying was the easiest medium through which high-level global leaders reached out to both sides of the Nigerian Civil War and encouraged them to end it in a peaceful manner.

Book excerpt: A fearless act of journalism in 1960s Nigeria and the true story behind the international bestselling novel The Dogs of War. 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 suffering and the scale of atrocity being played out in the African continent. This was thanks not just to advances in communication technology but to the courage and journalistic skills of foreign correspondents like Frederick Forsyth, who had already earned an enviable reputation for tenacity and accuracy working for Reuters and the BBC. In The Biafra Story, Forsyth reveals the depth of the British Government’s active involvement in the conflict—information which many in power would have preferred to remain secret. General Gowon’s genocide of the Biafran people was facilitated by a ready supply of British arms and advice. Still tragically relevant in its depiction of global affairs, this powerful book also launched Frederick Forsyth to literary stardom by providing him with the background material for The Dogs of War. The dramatic events and shocking political exposures, all delivered with Forsyth’s bold and perceptive style, makes The Biafra Story a compelling lesson in courage.

This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biafra's declaration of independence on May 30, 1967, precipitated a civil war with important implications for the territorial integrity of all newly independent African states. Allegations of genocide commanded the world's attention and brought forth unprecedented humanitarian intervention. This full account of the internationalization of that conflict draws on hitherto confidential records and more than two hundred interviews with foreign policymakers, including Yakubu Gowon and C. Odumegwu Ojukwu. Originally published in 1977.
