Africa's former colonial masters, including Great Britain France, Portugal and Spain, trained members and leaders of the various colonial Armed Forces to be politically non partisan. Yet, the modern day Armed Forces on the continent, made up of the Army, Police, Air Force and Navy, have become so politicized that many countries in Africa are today ruled or have already been ruled by military dictators through coups d'etat, occasionally for good reasons as the book points out. This book traces the historical cum political evolution of these events, and what bodes for Africa, where the unending military incursions into partisan politics are concerned.
