Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haile Selassie I, the last emperor of Ethiopia, was as brilliant as he was formidable. An early proponent of African unity and independence who claimed to be a descendant of King Solomon, he fought with the Allies against the Axis powers during World War II and was a messianic figure for the Jamaican Rastafarians. But the final years of his empire saw turmoil and revolution, and he was ultimately overthrown and assassinated in a communist coup. Written by Asfa-Wossen Asserate, Haile Selassie’s grandnephew, this is the first major biography of this final “king of kings.” Asserate, who spent his childhood and adolescence in Ethiopia before fleeing the revolution of 1974, knew Selassie personally and gained intimate insights into life at the imperial court. Introducing him as a reformer and an autocrat whose personal history—with all of its upheavals, promises, and horrors—reflects in many ways the history of the twentieth century itself, Asserate uses his own experiences and painstaking research in family and public archives to achieve a colorful and even-handed portrait of the emperor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has written a number of books in Amharic. His first novel (አዳባይ Adabay) was published by Kuraz Publishers in 1882. Most of his novels are based on the anti-Fascist patriotic struggle of 1935-1940 and the post Second World War situation in Ethiopia. His first English novel 'Trying Times' was published by Shama Books in 2011.Recently, he wrote two history books in Amharic about the first and second Ethio-Italian wars. This history book, in English, deals with the military and diplomatic battles of Menelik the Second, Emperor of Ethiopia.Two years after crowned Emperor of Ethiopia, Menelik rejected the Berlin and Brussels conferences decisions on the scramble of Africa. In a letter dated April 1891, addressed to European colonial powers he declared that Ethiopia's territory extends to Lake Albert in the south, to Indian Ocean in the east and the White Nile in the west. His opposition was a declaration that there are no territories to scramble other than Menelik's sovereign empire. In his letter, Menelik expressed his firm belief that God has preserved Ethiopian independence and will not allow occupation of his country by foreign powers.In 1895 when Italy tried to annex the Tigray province Menelik defeated it in three months battles. The battle started in Alage with Menelik's General Ras Mekonen led army. The victory at Alage resounded in Europe. The Italian government mobilized 40,000 soldiers and sent them on 11 ships to Eritrea to participate in the coming battles. This was followed by additional mobilization of 6,000 more soldiers and weaponry and was sent by six ships to Massawa. Thus in accordance to Raymond Jonas 46,000 Italian soldiers were added to the Italian force in Eritrea after the Battle of Alage. The mobilization continued for months. The Victory of Alage was followed by other victories in Awsa and Mekelle and culminated in the Victory of the Battle of Adwa.This book, other than the Ethiopian and Italian confrontation, details Ethiopia's expeditions against the Anglo-Egyptians in the Sudan and south to Lake Albert. This expedition led by Ras Mekonen to the White Nile was done in alliance with Khalifa Abdullahi of the Mahdiya State. This could be considered the first pan African military alliance. The expedition reached the White Nile in two directions. Another expedition led by Ras Wolde Giorgis to Lake Albert short landed at Lake Rudolf. The Columbia Courier on March 18, 1904 wrote that Menelik "defeated the cherished "Cape to Cairo" dream of the late Cecil Rhodes. This book elucidates the military and diplomatic history of the battles with the Italians, the expeditions to the White Nile in the Sudan in alliance with the Mahdi Kalifa Abdullahi and the two pronged expeditions to the south to reach Lake Albert. These battles changed the course of history in the 19th century. Menelik was also a great diplomat. He built a lifelong friendship with Europeans and Americans who served him in his diplomatic effort. One of them, Ellis briefed Menelik on political concepts based on the Monroe Doctrine of 'America for Americans' that impressed Menelik very much. With Ellis Menelik forwarded the idea of "Africa for Africans". He even learned how to pronounce these mottos in English. When Menelik was told that Mr. Carnegie, the American industrialist and philanthropist, support to the right of American blacks he sent him a letter thanking him. Mr. Carnegie responded that he "has been deeply moved by receiving a letter written by his Imperial Majesty's own hand and conveying his good wishes. It is a great honor and the letter has been framed. It will be handed down to future generations and testify that in this day there reigned in Abyssinia a great and wise Monarch who knew the world and what was going in countries far from his own and gave to what he saw to good his august approval."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 1896 a well-disciplined and massive Ethiopian army did the unthinkable-it routed an invading Italian force and brought Italy's war of conquest in Africa to an end. In an age of relentless European expansion, Ethiopia had successfully defended its independence and cast doubt upon an unshakable certainty of the age-that sooner or later all Africans would fall under the rule of Europeans. This event opened a breach that would lead, in the aftermath of world war fifty years later, to the continent's painful struggle for freedom from colonial rule. Raymond Jonas offers the first comprehensive account of this singular episode in modern world history. The narrative is peopled by the ambitious and vain, the creative and the coarse, across Africa, Europe, and the Americas-personalities like Menelik, a biblically inspired provincial monarch who consolidated Ethiopia's throne; Taytu, his quick-witted and aggressive wife; and the Swiss engineer Alfred Ilg, the emperor's close advisor. The Ethiopians' brilliant gamesmanship and savvy public relations campaign helped roll back the Europeanization of Africa. Figures throughout the African diaspora immediately grasped the significance of Adwa, Menelik, and an independent Ethiopia. Writing deftly from a transnational perspective, Jonas puts Adwa in the context of manifest destiny and Jim Crow, signaling a challenge to the very concept of white dominance. By reopening seemingly settled questions of race and empire, the Battle of Adwa was thus a harbinger of the global, unsettled century about to unfold.

Book excerpt: The year is 1896. The European colonizing effort known as 'The Scramble For Africa' is at its peak. Against the threat of invasion, Ethiopian Emperor Menelik II, King of Kings, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, issues a proclamation of war and rallies his troops to the defense of the Motherland. In the far south of Ethiopia, in the small mountain town of Bekoji high on the Arusi Plateau, two brothers-Bedane and Chala Negassa-answer the Emperor's call to battle. Bedane leads a squadron of the fierce and feared Oromo cavalry north to join the Emperor. Too young to join the army, Chala is assigned to guide Haile Mikael Tesfaye, the Bishop of Ba'le Province, and help him journey north to the battle to pray for the success of the troops. This, then, is the tale of the adventures of Bedane, Chala, and Father Haile, as the Bishop likes to be called. The story takes place within the milieu of the campaigns waged by Emperor Menelik and the Italian General Oreste Baratieri, which culminate in the terrifying Battle of Adua. At Adua, Ethiopia valiantly defends its freedom and independence against the European invaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 19th century, the new nation-state of Italy was eager to join her European neighbours in creating an international empire, and her eyes turned toward Africa as a source of potential colonies. Securing a foothold in Eritrea on the Red Sea coast, the Italians quickly became embroiled in a shooting war with the Ethiopians. The war proved a disaster for the Italians, who suffered three major defeats against the forces of Emperor Menelik's army, including a horrendous massacre at Adowa, the largest defeat of a colonial army prior to World War I. This book looks at the campaign with an emphasis on the colourful uniforms worn by both sides.
