The Nigerian military and the state - London: I B Tauris, 1997 - 263p.

Describes the evolution of the Nigerian military forces and "argues that military rule has created an environment that has very little regard for political opposition, or issue oriented politics, has encouraged a culture of political violence and generally prevented the country from learning form its mistakes". As a consequence Nigeria has not been able to mature politically.
