Since Royal Dutch Shell first struck oil in the Niger Delta in 1956, the environment and economy of the country have been in steady decline. The authors, a Nigerian journalist and lawyer, document the Nigerian people's struggle against the exploitation and destruction of their land and culture by Royal Dutch Shell and a series of corrupt Nigerian governments. Okonto was part of the editorial team that founded Tempo , an underground newspaper in Nigeria. He is presently at St. Peter's College, England. Douglas is Nigeria's leading environmental human rights lawyer. He is deputy director of Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth in Nigeria. Annotation c.
