After the Guns Fell Silent: Personal Stories of Survival from the Nigerian Civil War - Paperback
Description
by Cecilia Umoren (Author)
AFTER THE GUNS FELL SILENT is a collection of personal stories from the children, now adults, who lived through the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970). Sparked by the editor's realisation of how little is widely known about the conflict, the book seeks to preserve untold first-hand experiences of survival, loss, displacement, and resilience. It highlights the historical roots of the war-political tensions, ethnic divisions, and violence-that culminated in Biafra's secession and the ensuing tragedy.
By sharing these memories, the book aims to fill gaps in collective knowledge, foster empathy across communities, and encourage Nigerians to confront the past in order to better understand the present and future.
