Less We Forget – a Bibliography on the Biafra War Compiled by Françoise Ugochukwu, the Open University (UK)/CNRS-LLACAN, Paris

Unsurprisingly, most of what has so far been published on the Nigerian civil war is in

English, as evidenced in this chapter. Yet, the French involvement in Biafra resulted in a

number of publications on the war, while attracting the attention of the French public to

Nigeria. This in turn encouraged the translation of a number of Nigerian writers – Achebe,

Ekwensi, Adichie, Soyinka and others. This bilingual bibliography – in English & French –

covering the years 1967-2013, brings together works of fiction, essays, memoirs and other

research publications on the war, organised in two separate sections, followed by an

annotated list of relevant websites.
