Wonderful text. Although, Non Igbo's see the text as a one eyed view. My project topic was "War and Identity" in Achebe's There Was a Country.

... Words can't describe you. Drawing can't bring out your imagery, but your literary skills, love for your country and humanity surely remains EVERGREEN and INDELIBLE in our heart.

We love you sir. Continue to rest in the peace of the Lord.

"When the white man came, we were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay; now he has won our brothers and our clan can no longer act as one. He has put a knife on the thing that held us together and we have fallen apart."



No African writer can beat Chinua Achebe's use of imagery.
