There Was A Time: The Nigeria-Biafra War (1967-1970) - Paperback

THERE WAS A TIME: "Nonfiction". A Story of Survival and Resilience in the Nigeria-Biafra War. "We didn't just lose a country; we lost the world we knew." In 1967, the world watched as a new nation, Biafra, was born out of the ashes of post-colonial tension—and then systematically starved into submission. But behind the cold headlines of the Nigerian Civil War were the millions of lives caught in the crossfire. In this intimate and harrowing memoir, Nnamdi Ebo takes you past the front lines and into the heart of hungry Biafrans fighting to stay together as their world collapsed.

From the initial euphoria of independence to the desperate days of the "Biafran Babies" and the legendary Ogbunigwe mines, this is more than a history lesson—it is a firsthand account of what it means to lose everything and still find the will to endure.

• A Child's/Soldier's/Survivor's Perspective: An unfiltered look at the daily reality of the blockade, the sound of the Mig jets, and the ingenuity of a people under siege.
• The Human Cost: Beyond the politics, experience the stories of the ordinary men and women who displayed extraordinary courage in the face of famine and fear.
• A Legacy of Healing: A moving reflection on the trauma that shaped a generation and the difficult path toward reconciliation in a fractured nation.

Perfect for readers of Half of a Yellow Sun and/or There Was A Country, or anyone seeking a deeply personal look at one of Africa's most defining conflicts.
