The book has two major objectives. First, it examines the various aspects of the involvement of the military as governors in the politics of African states. Second, it offers some suggestions on ways in which constitutional and political strategies can be used to control the military’s recurrent intervention in politics in Africa. The book aims to provide insights into the military’s role in African politics from initial intervention to the performance of military regimes, as well as to disengagement, reengagement, consolidation and finally, the offering of ways to control the problem of intervention.
