Militarism in Post-Colonial Africa with Samuel Fury Childs Daly
About this episode
This episode discusses the ideology of militarism and military dictatorships in post-colonial Africa with Samuel Fury Childs Daly.
In the years after independence, military coups overthrew civilian governments in many new African countries and tried to transform their societies into martial utopias. In this episode of the Strategy Bridge podcast, we talk with Samuel Fury Childs Daly about the ideology of militarism, military dictatorships, and how law both enabled and challenged them. Daly is Associate Professor of History at the University of Chicago and is the author of "Soldier's Paradise: Militarism in Africa after Empire."
