Max Siollun on Nigeria's experience under 60 years of British colonial rule, and how it forever changed the country.

"A must-read for anyone interested in the story of Britain’s colonial encounter with Nigeria. Siollun tells this complex story from a Nigerian perspective while never once abandoning his objective eye ... His vast knowledge and down-to-earth writing style have combined to produce a book that is both educative and enjoyable to read, one that shows colonialism in all its human complexities and contradictions." Remi Adekoya, University of York, author of Biracial Britain: A different way of looking at race
