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