Publishers Weekly
Maier puts a human face on a disheartening situation that seems remote and impersonal to most Americans.

This House Has Fallen: Midnight in Nigeria by Karl Maier

Authors thinks Nigeria is not a practical state for ethnic reasons, but takes a long time to make the point and doesn't make it in much detail. Useful tidbits about life in Nigeria, though.
