Caught up in the chaos are theauthor’s forebears, the Warrior from Ife, his son Solesi, the war-boy who cameback home from capture and exile, and Baba Mamu who, tiring of war, takessolace in his cocoa farm. The story culminates in the bloody defeat of the Ijebusat Imagbon and the imposition of British rule over Yorubaland.
