THERE WAS A COUNTRY
ACHEBE, CHINUA
The defining experience of Chinua Achebe’s life was the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran War, of
1967–1970. The conflict was infamous for its savage impact on the Biafran people, Chinua Achebe’s people,
many of whom were starved to death after the Nigerian government blockaded their borders. By then, Chinua
Achebe was already a world-renowned novelist, with a young family to protect. He took the Biafran side in the
conflict and served his government as a roving cultural ambassador, from which vantage he absorbed the war’s
full horror. Immediately after, Achebe took refuge in an academic post in the United States, and for more than
forty years he has maintained a considered silence on the events of those terrible years, addressing them only
obliquely through his poetry. Now, decades in the making, comes a towering reckoning with one of modern
Africa’s most fateful events, from a writer whose words and courage have left an enduring stamp on world
literature.
