"Okonta and Douglas provide a vivid and relentless account of human tragedy since oil was discovered in the Niger Delta in 1956." --Card Hand, Associate Professor of Sociology, Valdosta State University "This passionate book should be read by all those interested in the links between oil and oppression. The authors, both from Nigeria's oil producing Niger Delta, bring equal depth of knowledge and outrage at the injustices wrought against their homeland by Nigeria's governments - colonial, military and civilian - and by the oil companies, first among them Shell" --Bronwen Manby, Deputy Director of the African Division, Human Rights Watch
