FOR SALE: The Biafra Story: The Making of an African Legend

This book marked Frederick Forsyth’s transition from journalist to author in 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.
