Great book - not my usual type of read, but I really liked it. Gives a glimpse into tribal life/mentality - power structure, numerous gods that the clans worship, etc. How the white man integrated himself into the villages, converted tribesman and caused dissension among a previously unified clan.
Back cover: "A simple story of a "strong man" whose life is dominated by fear and anger... is written with remarkable economy and subtle irony. Uniquely and richly African, at the same time it reveals Achebe's keen awareness of the human qualities common to men of all times and places."
