At 17, he left his native village to join the French colo nial army. He served in Indochina before Dien Bien Phu and spent the middle '50s studying liberal arts in Wisconsin. Back home, married to a white college sweet heart, Ellelloū rose through the ranks under a French-puppet king and then emerged as the leader of the coup that put him in power...
