About the book
Edited version of A Detention Diary - Ken Saro-Wiwa's own record of his arrest and imprisonment in July 1993, and the history of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People. This new edition has a foreword by the Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka. The book highlights Saro- Wiwa's ideology, his cause, his ultimate sacrifice and the injustice of his death. It also focuses on the Ogoni struggle against the multinational Shell and the Nigerian dictatorship. His story illustrates the consequences of living in a world powered by fossil fuels.
