Posted by tcook@abctales.com (1 year ago ) A fantastic book. Ken Wiwa's father was the leader of the Ogoni tribe who were stuffed over by Shell and the Nigerian government. Their land was taken and polluted - and his father was executed for leading the resistance against them.
This book is as much about the relationship between a son and a famous father as it is about the struggle. It makes for an incredible read. I highly recommend it to you.
