Description

This publication offers a detailed account of the European expansion in the ninth century, impacting various African nations, with the exception of Ethiopia. Nevertheless, the historical narrative of Ethiopia under Emperor Menelik and Queen Taytu during the same period has captivated the attention of Ethiopian scholars, leading to a thorough reevaluation. The latest edition of this book introduces fresh firsthand testimonies that illuminate the governance of Menelik and its rapport with the populace. The text underscores Menelik's strategic acumen and resolute stance against major European powers such as Germany, England, France, and Italy, showcasing his procurement of advanced weaponry. His adept leadership and absence of domestic adversaries garnered widespread support from the common folk, motivating successive generations to strive for liberation under his guidance.

Reviews
