Korieh combines innovative concepts with fresh theoretical insights to present new data capable of reshaping how the WWII is studied in Africa and across other colonial sites. Clearly written and thoughtfully presented, this book is a product of a rigorous research and is undoubtedly a useful addition to the expanding historiography of WWII, colonialism, and empire.' Saheed Aderinto, Western Carolina University 'Korieh sheds new light on Nigeria's 'home front'; drawing together a diverse range of source material to show how the global conflict became interwoven with daily economic, political, and social life. Unusual within the historiography of World War Two Africa in that it makes substantial use of African voices, this is major contribution to the history of wartime Nigeria and to the re-centring of World War Two history away from Eurocentric accounts.' Oliver Coates, University of Cambridge 'Here is a mature, imaginative piece of scholarship that offers an engaging assessment of the volatile era in world history, extending the frontiers of scholarship on the Second World War, while also powerfully enriching our understanding of nascent radical nationalism in colonial Nigeria.'

Toyin Falola, University of Texas at Austin 'A good overall look at Nigeria's 'national' role in the war, Korieh's account of the colony's military contribution is essentially introductory.'
