THE COMPOUND: Is a story about Marshall, who grew up in the village of Alaoji, his mother’s home village near Aba, in Abia State, Nigeria. He did not know who his father was. Marshall goes to reside with his stepmother Mbonu, at Okokwu village. Mbonu, who knew that her son, who was abroad on studies, the owner of the Compound, would never approve of the idea, to adopt a twenty four years old man, refused to inform him that, a stranger had joined them in the Compound. The struggles of Marshall who sought for his identity, and the identities of his four sisters for recognition, existence, womanizing, romance, pretences, and summons, forms the centre of the story. After about fifteen years of what seemed normalcy in Marshall’s life at Okokwu village, he committed abomination, and he was driven into exile.

"Major General William "Bull" Nelson played a formative role in the Union's success in Kentucky and the Western theater in the CIvil War... David C. Clark presents a long-overdue examination of an irascible officer, his numerous accomplishments, and his grim fate ... During September of 1862, in a crime that was never prosecuted, fellow Union general Jefferson C. Davis shot and killed Nelson after an argument. Clark explores this remarkable exception in military law, arguing that while the fact of the murder was indisputable, prosecution of the murder went by the wayside because a public angered by the arrogant behavior of Federal officers generally approved of Davis having dispatched an abusive tyrant ... This comprehensive study -- the first biography of Nelson -- eliminates previous misconceptions about a well-known yet misunderstood Civil War general"--Dust jacket.
