On November 10, 1995 the Nigerian government executed activist Ken Saro-Wiwa along with eight other Ogoni activists. Their deaths brought the plight of their people and the role of British oil companies in Nigeria to the attention of the world. This book explains how western companies cooperate with local elites in West Africa to maintain control.
