"In rescuing the Chibok tragedy from 'mythic status, ' Habila's unusual primer quietly yet powerfully revives the call to take notice."--The Atlantic On April 14, 2014, 276 girls from the Chibok Secondary School in northern Nigeria were kidnapped by Boko Haram, the world's deadliest terrorist group. Most were never heard from again. Acclaimed Nigerian novelist Helon Habila, who grew up in northern Nigeria, returned to Chibok and gained intimate access to the families of the kidnapped to offer a devastating account of this tragedy that stunned the world. With compassion and deep understanding of historical context, Habila tells the stories of the girls and the anguish of their parents; chronicles the rise of Boko Haram and the Nigerian government's inept response; and captures the indifference of the media and the international community whose attention has moved on. Employing a fiction writer's sensibility and a journalist's curiosity, THE CHIBOK GIRLS provides poignant portraits of everyday Nigerians whose lives have been transformed by extremist forces. Habila illuminates the long history of colonialism--and unmasks cultural and religious dynamics--that gave rise to the conflicts that have ravaged the region to this day.Binding Type: Paperback

Disappointing Chew
Flavor Name: Watermelon, Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
Starts out with a burst of flavor that quickly fizzles out and texture is grainy and unpleasant

Spendy but delicious. Helps with your teeth, so I highly recommend it.
Flavor Name: Watermelon, Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
Flavor is excellent, really tastes like watermelon. I wind up eating about four at a time, so it doesn't go real far, but I like it. I'll keep buying it because I love the taste. It's good for your teeth because of the xlitol. BUT don't let your dog find it. It can kill a dog, the xylitol. So keep it high up where your dog can't get to and wrap it before putting it in the basket so your dog can't get to it. No sugar, so safe for diabetics! High quality, nice packaging. Highly recommended, just keep your dog safe. If you take your dog in the car, don't take this in the car.

Not a fan of this flavor
Flavor Name: Watermelon, Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
I am not a fan of this brand of gum. I have purchased in the past Watermelon by Pur unfortunately they don't make that anymore so I tried this one. I personally do not like the taste.

Just what I was looking for: Informative, clear, and concise
Format: Paperback
I've been looking for ways to learn about first aid beyond the basics of CPR and Stop the Bleed. This book is the best resource I've found so far. It is well organized, clearly written, and a pleasure to read.
