Description
This book is the first true and full account of the 34 months of weapons manufacturing activities of Biafra s Research and Armaments Production (RAP).RAP was secretly nucleated and named by an Arrowhead Troika of engineers in March 1967, following privileged information on Nigeria s war preparations, goaded by Harold Wilson, the British Prime Minister. The Troika s mentor was a brave gentleman officer, Major Louis Chude Sokei, who established a Military Wing of the Troika s RAP and named its only regular commissioned officer (this author) as the Head.The university community and the organized private sector personnel joined the Troika four/five months later, and RAP s weapons output soared exponentially. The Military Wing regularly deployed RAP s weapons directly to the various field commands, along with its specialized weapon firing crews of soldiers. An account of the eight fiercest battles of the entire campaign is given in fair detail. Similarly, a brief description of twelve of the most intrepid Biafran officers and men is given.The incredible mystery of the war is how the five-week-old Biafran Army, totally bereft of all ordnance and using its own manufactured weapons, without Navy or Air Force, managed to keep at bay, for thirty-four months, Nigeria s gargantuan coalition with Britain and Soviet Russia, which was commanded by Britain s General Alexander, until both sides became exhausted and a political gimmick of surrender was contrived by Gowon and Nnamdi Azikiwe, Nigeria s first President. How Biafra achieved this incredible feat is what this book is about.
