The book consists of ten Chapters. Nine Chapters deal with the
nine Communities of Isuochi treated in their order of seniority
from the view points of:
The Origin of the Community;
Major and minor divinities located in each Community;
The Osu caste system;
Markets existing in each Community;
Streams with their locations;
Wars fought with neighbouring towns with basic causes and their
results.
The last but not the least, things which the peoples’ declared
belief and custom regard as forbidden _ TABOO, treated in part one.

Isuochi is treated from the general view, as it comprises
nine Communities, meanwhile, the book consists of two parts.
Chapter ten focused on the interview which Eze G.I. Ezekwesiri,
The Ochi I of Isuochi granted the author.
The research which started in 1981 and ended in 1990 covers
almost all facets of Isuochi life including origin, morals,
social and economic background. It has tried to touch on all
the vital aspects of the life of the people of Isuochi. It is a
painstaking research.
This book is a ‘MUST-HAVE’ for everybody. It is interesting to read as it is useful for research and reference.
