We are fortunate to be joined by the person who wrote the book on this topic, Max Siollun, whose The Forgotten Era: Nigeria Before British Rule served as the major resource in creating this episode. We highly recommend checking out his book, from Pluto Press, and stay tuned for a future discussion with Max on post-colonial Nigeria! Max Siollun is a historian. He has written several acclaimed books on Nigeria's history, including What Britain Did to Nigeria: A Short History of Conquest and Rule , which was shortlisted in BBC History Magazine 's 2021 Books of the Year, and the focus of today's episode: The Forgotten Era: Nigeria Before British Rule .
