The history of Nigeria has often been difficult to follow. Politically, the country passed through several democratic phases that were interrupted by regimes controlled by the military. Internally, regions and states have been sporadically created and divided to counteract ethnic or other tensions existing between the peoples of this densely populated African nation. This historical dictionary of Nigeria serves as a guide for the person interested in sorting out the political, economic and social history of this variegated nation. Updated for the 1990s, this second edition expands on information previously researched. It includes a chronology and a new bibliography by Thomas Ofcansky, highlighting books and articles published in Nigeria about the country's security affairs.
