Just Another Soldier captures the Civil War years in Nigeria through the eyes and war-front experiences of a young army officer. The author exposes the world of the war-front: courageous and cowardly officers and men; interpersonal relationships, private lives, and limits of esprit de corps and the militarisation of communities and communal life. Richard Maduku retired from the Nigerian Army after the Nigerian Civil War in which he manned the trenches in the Fourth Division that swept through the old Midwest Region. A swift military campaign which broke the back of the rebellion as Ojukwu's Biafran forces were driven back into the heard of Igboland.
