The CDS said the Nigerian military shall not be deterred in the face of challenges.

The author of the book, retired Major General Udounwa said the military profession thrives on experiential learning and they are documented for those behind to learn from them.
" if you don't document your experiences, that could be lost and those coming behind you might not be able to learn from all the exposure and all the training that you had while in service."
According to General Udenwa, his book will interest those serving, the military historians, to those in the academia, and anyone interested in national and international security affairs.
He encouraged the younger generation of officers who are still serving to learn from some of the challenges captured and documented in the book and how he was able to navigate through them while serving with discipline, professionalism, integrity, courage, and character among many other virtues required of a service man.
