Chris Oriko is a member of the president's cabinet for life, and one of the leader's oldest friends. When the president is charged with censoring the opportunistic editor of the state-run newspaper--another childhood friend--Chris's loyalty and ideology are put to the test. The fate of Kangan hangs in the balance as tensions rise and a devious plot is set in motion to silence a firebrand critic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom Chinua Achebe, the legendary author of \u003ci\u003eThings Fall Apart\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnthills of the Savannah \u003c\/i\u003eis \"A vision of social change that strikes us with the force of prophecy.\" \u003cb\u003e(\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Anchor Books","offers":[{"title":"Anthills of the Savannah | Chinua Achebe | Paperback | 9780385260459 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1728949 (temp: 6)","offer_id":48167603601560,"sku":"1728949","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Anthills of the Savannah | Chinua Achebe | Paperback | 9780385260459 | Used: Good | Back Stacks F 1744044","offer_id":48199409795224,"sku":"1744044","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/918F-lMpWsL.jpg?v=1771951190","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/anthills-of-the-savannah","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
