The edited diary of one of the first Western economists to serve as an adviser in the government of an independent African country. It gives a brutally frank appraisal of Nigeria's then political leaders and their economic advisers. It anticipates many of the problems that afflicted Nigeria's economy from the mid-1960s on, highlighting corruption and waste of development resources.
