Review

"Eloquent, acute and convincing...What [Achebe] has in fact achieved is an essentially and admirably journalistic triumph of documentation...intelligently observed."

"[Chinua Achebe] has shown that a mind that observes clearly but feels deeply enough to afford laughter may be more wise than all the politicians and journalists."

Publisher's note

By the renowned author of Things Fall Apart, this novel foreshadows the Nigerian coups of 1966 and shows the color and vivacity as well as the violence and corruption of a society making its own way between the two worlds.

Annotation

A story of vanity and political corruption in modern Africa. The central figure is Chief Nanga, an opportunistic demagogue who seizes power in a newly-independent British colony and proceeds to stifle opposition to his regime. The narrator, a former pupil of Nanga's, becomes a leader of the opposition party.
