Summary, etc. | This study of the military in Africa begins with the pre-colonial period whn armed forces or militias were essential to the maintenance and prosperity of their socieities. The colonial period brought invading forces against which the Africans fought hard and well - so much so that many were recruited into the colonial armies and fought in both world wars. The majority of the book deals with the devastation wrought by civil wars since decolonisation, the ubiqiuity of military rule, coups, and the catastrophes that these have brought to large parts of sub-Saharan Africa. |
