«'… while LeVVan's original, sophisticated and dense study will mostly appeal to postgraduate students and established scholars researching Nigeria, it also has much to offer those working in the fields of democratisation and comparative politics. This is an important and commendable book.' J. N. C. Hill, The Journal of Modern African Studies»
