When The Sky Burned Red: A Story of Survival and Reckoning - Paperback

by Alexander Iloka Rajis (Author)

This memoir recounts lived experience during the Biafran War (1967-1970). While the documented anti-Igbo pogroms of 1966 preceded the formal outbreak of war, this narrative opens within the war itself, as it was first understood and lived by a child.
Memories of earlier violence surface later in the text, not as background, but as part of a continuum in which mass violence against civilians functioned as a tool of terror and coercion.
