Emeka is the dramatic, powerful and moving life-story of CHUKWUEMEKA ODUMEGWU OJUKWU. It is the story of a rebel, general, head of state, governor, philosopher and Igbo leader. A story never told before about Emeka's youth, his army training, the civil war, his exile of more than twelve years and his return home on 18 June 1982. The writing was authorised by Ojukwu and writ-ten by his close friend and confidant Frederick Forsyth, the author of Dogs of War, Odessa File, The Day of the Jackal and The Biafra Story. Frederick Forsyth's fifteen years association with Ojukwu makes Enzeka an honest, truthful and very readable book. Mr Forsyth stayed in 'Biafra' as a war correspondent throughout the civil war, kept in close touch with Ojukwu during the years in exile and returned with him to Nigeria. Ojukwu — the new Nigerian image. The fascinating story of a selfless, ambitious, highly intelligent, courageous and honest man. Enzeka — the symbol of Igbo-ness. Dikedioranma of Igboland. Enzeka should be read by every Nigerian.
