A true groundwork of Nigerian history. Reading this book made me realise that so much has happened in my country of which I and many like me are ignorant of; it has encouraged me to read further and be more informed on events and issues that continue to plague my nation.
Kudos to all the historians who contributed to this ambitious project; I can only hope further projects like it are embarked upon in the future.
