In a review for the spectator Ayberon

Waugh praised the first edition of the Biafra story as probably the best we shall see on the war and by far the most complete account while offering that it's greatest single weakness was its presupposing concern and a readiness for moral judgement neither of which were justified in Waughs view.Peter Mustell, na nyocha nke mbipụta e degharịrị maka The Journal of Modern African Studies, katọrọ enweghị ele mmadụ anya n'ihu nke onye edemede ahụ n'ihi na ọ "na-aja onye ndu Biafra mma nke ukwuu". Mustell kwukwara ọtụtụ njehie eziokwu dị na mbipụta abụọ ahụ, mgbe ọ na-ekwughachi nkwupụta nke Forsyth na akwụkwọ ahụ abụghị "akụkọ dịpụrụ adịpụ" nke agha ahụ ma kwesịkwa "iji nlezianya nyochaa ya".
