Another controversial work by sterling statesman, Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria who also happens to be a dynamic, prolific writer. This is a very important work despite the polemics that surrounded its publication. Looked at objectively, this is an intimate profile of the man who more than anybody else was the pivot around which the first military coup in Nigeria revolved (Nzeogwu). The reader gets to know and understand Nzeogwu from the beginning of his life to his untimely death.
