Book excerpt: "Violent takeovers of constitutionally elected governments by the military constitute the principal bane in the process of our national development. The Ghana Armed Forces have equally been a major victim of these military coups d’état. This book, Allegiance vs Indiscipline – A Ghanaian Soldier’s Story, gives a vivid illustration of this phenomenon.” “ Life in exile, as narrated in his book, was not a very pleasant experience. For 16 years, he commuted between the United Kingdom and countries on the West Coast of Africa. It was a period of interesting military adventure. Allegiance vs Indiscipline – A Ghanaian Soldier’s Story is an educative document which is worth reading and should be added to every soldier’s collection.” Lt General E. A. Erskine Former Commander, Ghana Army First Force Commander, UNIFIL
