The Military in African Politics

Here is the first book to look at African politics and the new problems facing the military leadership. The contributors to The Military in African Politics have divided the regimes into three categories or case studies. These studies focus on the characteristics of the officers who came to power--young or old, revolutionary or conservative, on each country's particular problems, and on the strategies used by the military leaders to stay in power.Harbeson, John W. is the author of 'The Military in African Politics' with ISBN 9780275922955 and ISBN 0275922952.
