About the book
"Just Another Soldier captures the Civil War years in Nigeria in a blend of fact and fiction through the eyes and war-front experiences of a young army officer, who himself was prematurely sent into retirement in the immediate post-Civil War years of intrigues and arbitrary retrenchments that characterised the struggle for the control of the Nigerian military machine and soulless military regime. Fighting on the 'Federal side', Richard Maduku, among ether things, opens up the 'world of the war-front': courageous and cowardly officers and men; troubling relationship between logistical challenges and tactics; interpersonal relationships, private lives and limits of esprit de corps; the militarization of communities and communal life."--Jacket.
