THE EAGLE IS 50: THE STORY OF THE CITY CLUB, LAGOS

This is as much a commemorative work on the 50^th anniversary of a Lagos social club as it is a story on the city of Lagos—the dream of budding educated elite to carve for itself a privileged corner as it wrestles with the opportunities available. It is a story of the humane side of life, of brothers serving as each other’s keeper, of fascinating camaraderie, of institution building and of renewal as the elders pass on the torch to younger members.
