MY COMMAND

An Account of the Nigerian Civil War 1967-1970 by Olusegun Obasanjo.
Published 10 years after the war, this memoir examines Nigeria’s
politics after independence, the tension and distrust that led to civil
war, and the war itself. Obasanjo gives a vivid, detailed account of
military operations on all fronts, the international response, and the
war’s impact on citizens. Written with honesty and humanity, it remains
relevant today as both a record of our past and a guide for Nigeria’s
present and future leaders.
