Books on Biafra - compiled by Dan Obi Awduche, University of Massachussettes, Amherst, MA. How else can history be preserved? Oral traditions are distorted in transmission and disappear with time, but written records live forever. In them, generations learn and relearn their past, the opportunity to analyse facts and make inferences made available to them. Fictional and non-fictional books have explored the subject of the Biafran War (1967-1970) from various angles. In recent times, a crop of writers have beamed their searchlights on the topic, revealing heightened curiosity on the historical event... 1.
