This book describes Canada's involvement in the Biafra-Nigeria war. At the time of publication (1970) the fighting was over, but the starvation and oppression that the two authors fought against was not. Nor had the attitudes and prejudices of the Canadian government, which kept us from making any significant contribution to the peace.
