A History Of Abyssinia

This book presents a scrupulous and clear account of the history of Abyssinia: from the earliest records of it to the events of 1935. The book describes the country, the people, but also the legendary origin of the kingdom. Much attention is devoted to the conversion, the dark age, the period of isolation, the collapse of the monarchy and the dispute with Italy. A precious book, adorned by photographs, maps, and paintings. This is a new edition of the original publication by Clarendon, Oxford in 1935.
