Samuel Decalo provides a rigorous examination of the structural and personal factors driving military intervention in African governance. By analyzing specific case studies, the work challenges conventional theories of state power and institutional development, offering a nuanced perspective on the persistence of authoritarian regimes in the post-colonial era. This study remains a foundational text for understanding the complex dynamics of civil-military relations across the continent.
