Here is a book that discusses the politics and journalism of one of Nigeria’s gifts to both worlds. Anthony Enahoro occupied a hallowed place in the consciousness of Nigeria and Nigerians for six decades. From the resistance to colonialism to the days of self-rule, from the extreme regional consciousness of party politics in the 60s to the civil war days and the challenge of reconstruction under military rule, to the return to party politics of the 80s, Enahoro’s robust contributions to the challenges of nationhood are analysed and contextualised. This is a book that examines him like no other has done. It is a useful foray into Nigerian history, politics and its media.  It is a valuable work to inspire the younger generation that diligent application to service is a pathway to fame and recognition.
