THE TRAGEDY OF VICTORY
(On-the-spot Account of the Nigeria-Biafra War in the Atlantic Theatre)

The book is a chronological narrative of the war that lasted from July 6, 1967 to January 15, 1970.
With about 500 photographs and maps, the book dwarfs all other previous

publications on this subject matter in terms of depth of facts, coverage and accuracy.
The author brings to the fore the well-organised and efficient Third Marine Commandos, earlier commanded by Col. Benjamin Adekunle (with Lt. Col. G. Alabi-Isama, as the Chief of Staff) that

already controlled the Atlantic coast from Bonny to Calabar before Col. Olusegun Obasanjo's arrival as the new commander .
This most revealing book is in three parts. The first part is an account of the author's early life and his first encounter with the army.

The second part is about the real combat. It outlines, in detail, the strategies and tactics the commandos employed during the historic 480km trek from Calabar to Port Harcourt.
The third part is an expose on Obasanjo's book, My Command. The author contests Obasanjo's claims

about the war as being inconsistent with the truth.
The book is a rich manual,a repository of invaluable information, a document that gives a precise, veritable first-person account of the Nigerian civil war, in the Atlantic theatre.
