The book explores the January 1966 coup that dismantled Nigeria's First Republic, highlighting it as a pivotal moment in the failure of liberal democracy in post-colonial Africa. It examines how this event not only ended hopes for effective parliamentary governance but also contributed to a broader decline in democratic institutions across the continent, ultimately leading to a devastating civil war.
