This House Has Fallen is a bracing, disturbing, and evocative report on the perilous condition of one of the most complex multi-ethnic nations. The world's tenth most populous country with 110 million inhabitants, a potpourri of languages and peoples, and boundless dynamism, Nigeria is the pivotal point of the African continent. As Nigeria goes, so goes Africa, and, as Karl Maier makes vividly clear, things are not going at all well.Stirring, sometimes shocking, and beautifully told, This House Has Fallen is one of the best books ever written on Africa.
