read adewale ademoyega's ' why we struck'. that's is a first hand experience
Chinua Achebe was in his 30s during the Nigerian civil war if he said he was born in 1930. What more do I need to read when I already read an account from someone caught up in the war?. Again, his use of words got me engrossed.

What do you understand by 'first hand account?'.

Mr Achebe wasn't enlisted in the baifran military. He didn't 'fight' in the war. Granted he played some part. He was Ojukwu's emissary for most of it anyway... representing Biafra out of Biafra.

What then is a first hand experience?
Did he not experience the war?
Was it a hearsay?

He gave his own account of the war, Adewale did the same.
You don't try to put down another person acct, base on another acct you read. I'm sure you didn't witness the war but they both did.

I have not tried in any way to put
down Achebe. I respect that great man. well I am sorry if my position offended. I was only trying to kindly improve your fund of knowledge about those sad events. for me several opinions on a matter make for more insight.

They where at a disadvantage. I just finished reading Achebe's "There was a country". His was a first hand experience, and from his narrative, Britain and other countries who Nigeria pledged allegiance to aided Nigeria with arms and ammunition.

And the soviets?
