Military Leadership in Nigeria 1966-1979 Military Leadership in Nigeria 1966-1979 examines the concept of leadership in Nigeria. The author leads us through an excursion into Nigerian political history and the role of various regimes and its leaders since independence. This work is not just another account by a Senior Military Officer who once participated in government; it is a brilliant and well thought-out study of what seems to be the bane of Nigerian political history — leadership. It is also not a dull account by any means being interlaced with the author’s personal experiences, some of which are hilarious. The work is compulsory reading for all those who aspire to positions of leadership at whatever level, students of political science, history, military strategy, and logistics. The general reader will also find it a most illuminating and stimulating book. Author: Major-General James J.
