Despatches from Lagos

Nigeria's third attempt at establishing a viable democracy in 1993 was keenly watched by the international community. When it failed, it led to the country's worst political crisis since the civil war ended in 1970.

For that extraordinary year, Charles Aniagolu was the BBC correspondent covering Nigeria. This book is his account of what happened.

Reviews:
"A revealing account of a crucial period of Nigeria's turbulent history through a reporters sharp eye" ...BBC Focus on Africa

"Aniagolu...deserves our thanks for enabling our minds to revisit some of the most vexatious events in the history of a great country"...The London Observer.
