Reception

[edit]

Nicolas Okpe said, “the book is typical post-colonial prejudice by western journalist”.[2] Editors Ali B. and Ali-Dinar in African Studies Center of University of Pennsylvania wrote, "...This book is by no means a comprehensive account of Nigerian history. That would involve decades and many volumes. Rather, its purpose is to portray the most intractable crisis points and the ethnic and regional tensions threatening the survival of what is perhaps the largest failed state in the Third World."[3] Aishatu Morido Yanet writing for the International Journal of Peace and Conflict Studies also reviewed the book and called it "rich and useful to scholars".[4] A review by Publishers Weekly added, "Maier puts a human face on a disheartening situation that seems remote and impersonal to most Americans."[5]
