Articles & Books

Siollun's Oil, Politics and Violence: Nigeria's Military Coup Culture (1966-1976), published in 2009, has received favorable reviews by numerous commentators who note Siollun's contribution to Nigerian history, not least for its dispassionate tone, critical insight and unpacking of a complex series of events which were hitherto poorly documented or not documented at all.[2]

Max Siollun has written about the infamous Dikko Affair[3][4] which strained diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Nigeria for some time.[5]
