Nigeria: Dancing on the Brink (Council on Foreign Relations Books) ReviewFormer Bush U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria John Campbell provides an expert, important and fascinating account of why we should care that Africa's most populous and strategically vital nation risks political collapse. The book's text is concise enough at 146 pages to appeal to a general reader, with extensive footnotes for those who want more. The author effectively weaves his high-level experiences (including 32 years at the U.S. State Department) and impressions into a illuminating overview of Nigeria's history and current situation.
More generally, we as readers benefit by understanding major international problems before they happen, not just afterward as so often the case (including in the current North Africa and Mideast uprisings). Since book publication, Campbell has been calling for international pressure to ensure that Nigeria conducts its April 2011 Presidential elections fairly. "The April elections have the potential to exacerbate the country's problems if they are not free, fair and credible," he says. "But, if the elections do command popular legitimacy, there is the opportunity to reverse Nigeria's downward spiral. So, the stakes are high."
Campbell, currently a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, appeared March 17 with this message on the "Washington Update," a public affairs radio show that I co-host on the My Technology Lawyer network. His expertise and passion for this topic are available worldwide by archive beginning 17 minutes past the hour: [...]. I've had the privilege of hosting many prominent authors (among others) during my five years with the radio show. This is the first time I've mentioned one in this way, and I hope it adds a useful dimension to my fellow Amazon.com users.Nigeria: Dancing on the Brink (Council on Foreign Relations Books) Overview
