Written from an unusual point of view, this biography documents the life of Sani Abacha as one of the most powerful figures not only in the Nigerian military but also in the country as a whole. Beginning as a young officer in the Army, he rose to become a prominent general through diligence and hard work, eventually becoming the Country’s Head of State. The book also serves as an insight into the life of a rather misjudged man, dispelling myths and revealing facts rather than rumours.
