Book Reviews of A History of Ethiopia Updated Edition

Book Review: Overview of Ethiopian History
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are reading this review you are looking for books on Ethiopia or African History. This book is well worth the time and money, especially if your goals are as specific as Ethiopia. I bought this in the stages of planning a trip to Addis Abeba and enjoyed the academic approach - so it should be understood that it is more of an academic approach to Ethiopian History. It may not fit the needs of all. May be dense for some.

If for a university course or research consider yourself lucky, add this to your cart now. It is this kind of book.

If you wanted a softer, yet still revealing read, In Search of King Solomon's Mines, is a great addition here to your hunt on Ethiopian literature.

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.
