The book chronicles the 1994 military coup d’etat by young army officers that toppled one of Africa’s longest fledgling democracies, ending almost three decades of Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara’s PPP Government. In an extended conversation with President Barrow, the author says that apart from presenting the true story and circumstances leading to the ominous events of July 22nd, 1994, his motif (theme) was to also educate soldiers about the potential dangers that coups pose to society.
