The Making of Modern Ethiopia: A Synopsis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781657046924)

The book is a synopsis on the lengthy process of the making of modern Ethiopia. It covers, albeit briefly, the duration from the pre-Aksumite period to the present Ethiopian Federation. It is not a history in the conventional sense. Some could find it controversial. The focus of the book is on the transformation of the Kingdom of Abyssinia to modern Ethiopia. It is primarily an account of how Emperor Menelik II built modern Ethiopia in the second half of the 19th century. It is an illustration of the multinational nature of modern Ethiopia. Anyone interested in Ethiopian controversial history and its present socio-political dynamics would find the book informative, thought-provoking, and a valuable resource to understand modern Ethiopia.
