What does war look like through the eyes of a child?
For a child too young to understand why his father suddenly returned home from the North, war was at first only a distant word-something adults talked about. But as the Nigeria-Biafra War intensified, that distant threat became a terrifying reality. Homes were abandoned, families were uprooted, hunger became an everyday companion, and survival became the overriding concern.
For a child too young to understand why his father suddenly returned home from the North, war was at first only a distant word-something adults talked about. But as the Nigeria-Biafra War intensified, that distant threat became a terrifying reality. Homes were abandoned, families were uprooted, hunger became an everyday companion, and survival became the overriding concern.
In Pangs of War, Kingsley Iheme takes us back to the turbulent years of the Nigeria-Biafra War, drawing from personal experience and historical facts to tell a story of fear, flight, hunger, resilience, loss, and survival. From the early persecution that forced many Igbos to flee their homes, through the uncertainty of life in hiding and the hardships of wartime displacement, the narrative captures the human cost of a conflict in which ordinary civilians-especially mothers and children-paid an unbearable price.
But the war did not end when the guns fell silent. The aftermath brought resettlement, abandoned properties, destroyed homes and livelihoods, broken families, widows and orphans, and a generation struggling to rebuild what had been lost. Millions died, many of them civilians and children, while countless others carried the scars of the conflict long after the ceasefire.
Yet Pangs of War is more than a remembrance of the past. It is also a deeply personal reflection on the questions that remain unanswered. Why did so many innocent people suffer? What became of the promises of rehabilitation, reintegration, and reconstruction? And can there truly be peace where the wounds of injustice remain unhealed?
With the voice of a survivor, the memory of a witness, and the passion of one who refuses to let history be forgotten, Kingsley Iheme tells a story that is painful, compelling, and deeply human.
This is a story of war. A story of survival. A story of memory. And above all, a cry that the suffering of the innocent must never be forgotten.
