Pangs of War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798711938620)

This book is a story based on personal experience and historical facts. Kingsley Iheme lived through the Nigeria-Biafra war, which lasted between 1967 and 1970. He was only two years when the war started, but he was a witness to some of the horrors that greeted the war. Besides, he had asked questions to know more about the war. Later in his life, he read the history of the war to understand the key actors in the war, the cause of the war, and why only Biafra bore the brunt of the conflict.Since his adult age, the author has been quite conversant with the happenings in the one Nigeria. It appears that the important lessons that should have been learnt from the civil war by the Nigerian state, to avoid a recurrence, were not learnt. Today, everyone cries for peace, but no one cries for justice, which was the fundamental cause of the war. According to Jane Addams, "True peace is not merely the absence of war; it is the presence of justice." And, until justice is established in the land, the oppressed will never cease to cry for freedom.
