On October 1, 1960, Nigeria gained her independence from the British colonial rule; on July 6, 1967, the country was engulfed in a civil war fought between the Federal Military Government of Nigeria and the defunct Republic of Biafra. While much work on the Nigerian Civil War has treated the major causes of the war and even added some global perspectives to it, this book is the first of its kind that studies British diplomatic involvement in the war.
