The Nigeria-Biafran war is the one of the events in contemporary history and literature that has not received sufficient attention that it requires. Apart from the pictures of children suffering from kwashiorkor, the killings at the war fronts and the air raids, not much is knownabout the effects of the war on individual families. The author in this thriller of a book revealsto us how anxiety, fears, hunger, sickness and deaths affected individual families during that war. In the midst of misery, there were however moments of joy, relaxation, merriment and hope. This is no single story. Although a work of fiction, Flashbacks of Turmoil provides us with rare historical facts of that war, which go beyond the fictive names. I recommend it to all.
