| Fantastic book i must say! Unfortunately, Ademoyega is dead, he couldn't respond to some critiques of his work.......especially on the subject Banjo who was to lead the Biafran Expenditionary Force to the seat of power in Lagos. |

| At least the book put to rest the notion that 1966 coup was an igbo coup to perpetuate themselves in governance of nigeria. 11 Likes 1 Share |

sonOfLucifer: Lol Lucifer. Seriously? GenOrumov: I believe it same cover. Ratello: Did you read my mind on Bannjo's role? mazzi: Yes. The book settled many myths and more about the biafran war. And even have better reasonable explanation in some areas like awolowi reason or his act. This explanation is better than that of chinua Achebe's version in there was a country |

mazzi: I can't agree to that reason that the coup was not successful, if it was successful and they made Awolowo the head of state as the book claim and other non Easterner that help out in the coup play a major role in the new govt. form, then we will conclude that it was a coup in the interest on the Nation but unfortunately that coup was not successful |

| I have the book along with "The Twelve-Day Revolution" by Isaac Boro; one other civil war book by Alex Madiebo and one i just found now "Reflections of the Nigerian Civil War" by Raph Uweche. Reading these books when i was young, opened my mind to how Nigeria was back then. The world isnt simply black or white; there's a whole lot of grey. It helps to view it from different perspectives. Was a bit disappointed with "There was a Country", the writer appeared biased. I guess that was how he saw the events then. Still looking for Alabi-Isama's book and Banjo's "A Sequin of Flowers" Also hope Gowon and T.Y. Danjuma do the world a favour and publish their own accounts of happenings then. @cupidFlint to the best of my knowledge Ifeajuna's writings havent been published although there is rumoured to be a manuscript. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Sibrah: They struck because the politicians of their era were behaving like tin gods and rudderless in their leadership roles, highly disorganized, wanton extortion of the led and gross corruption, favoritism, nepotism in high places.....yes they have to strike them (the politicians then) out. |

domack99: You read that Awo was made head of state in why we....are you serious or joking? That book clearly shown the cowardy of Ojuwku, his intolerance of other officers better than him, how he eliminated Ifeojuna, Banjo and covertly erased kaduna Nzeowu! Ademoyega himself narrowly escaped been kill, by that lunatic warlord! Book also clearly stated the coup fail because of failure of Ifeojuna in lagos and those of assigned eastern nigeria! Kaduna Nzeowu is a diatribal, have interest of the country in heart but his Igbo brothers in arm failed him, by not doing what they were assigned to do! They covertly spared leaders from their region. Moreover, when Nzeowu planned to launch attack on Lagos the sit of power and probably eastern region to balance thing out, he was persuaded by Ojuwku to step down because the equation favored the east then! 4 Likes |

| The striking point about the book for me is the; I am not surprised as to these aforementioned points, given that the author was an officer of the Nigerian Army and graduate of History from the University of London. So I do say he has the knowledge of telling a story like historians do, presenting facts in an unblemished prose. Ademoyega was an active plotter and participant in the January 15 1966 coup which many students of that troubled times believe was a major factor that led to the war. Although a Yoruba, Ademoyega fought for Biafra and was a key operator in the brief but highly controversial Biafran invasion of the Midwest. He was detained by the Ojukwu regime till the end of the war when, after a short spell of freedom, he commenced another spell of detention till 1974. The book is significant because it is the first account of Nigeria's first coup by a participant. It dispels many myths about that putsch and provides insights into developments that would eventually pitch brother against brother in July 1967. Though the book answers many questions, it leaves one hanging on many points, like: 2. The book does not give us a deep insight into the Biafran military and administrative machinery. Till his death in 2007, Ademoyega justified the January 15 'revolution' and argued trenchantly that it was the mishandling of its objectives by the soldiers who aborted the coup that laid the foundation for the subsequent crisis that led to Nigeria's civil war I feel this is the truest ( pardon my English ) account of the war story ever told. 5 Likes 1 Share |

| Why it is hard for many to understand or agree with the 5 majors that the main objective of the first coup was to install Awolowo as the president is because of the number of Igbo majors that took part in that coup. But they fail to understand that almost 3 of the majors were from the old western region and they were Awosts ,Nzeogwu inclusive. 1 Like |
