Book Reviews of A History of Ethiopia Updated Edition
Book Review: A foundation for learning Ethiopian history
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the book well-written and well-organized according to significant changes in Ethiopia's development. Economics, as well as politics, ethnology and technology are used to explain events and their significance. One thing that did annoy me is the fact that historic maps are all located together in the back, rather than in the sections in which they are relevent. The use of some of the Ethiopian titles of nobility is also confusing, when European equivalents would have done just as well.
Not a casual read by any means, but a serious student of African history could do much worse than Marcus' book.
Summary of A History of Ethiopia Updated Edition
In this eminently readable, concise history of Ethiopia, Harold Marcus surveys the evolution of the oldest African nation from prehistory to the present. For the updated edition, Marcus has written a new preface, two new chapters, and an epilogue, detailing the development and implications of Ethiopia as a Federal state and the war with Eritrea.Central Africa Books
