The bullet zipped past, missing me by inches. It struck a fellow soldier, who seconds ago, had been laughing with us in front of the tap at our camp in Agulu.

It is 1968 in SouthEastern Nigeria. A young man's world changes in an instant as he is thrust from a Surveyor trainee to a soldier in a war that has him struggling to survive while watching millions of his kin die. He brings his readers along on a journey as his locality undergoes political changes from Southern Nigeria to become the Eastern Region, the Republic of Biafra and finally SouthEastern Nigeria. Decades later, he reminisces on life in Igboland before the war, shares his memories of the Biafran War and his reflections on the current state of SouthEastern Nigeria.

This light and enjoyable adds a chapter to the chronicles of the Igbo people of SouthEastern Nigeria. It is a story of courage, of tenacity, of hope, and a plea for an appreciation of the misadventures that trail a war.
