About This Item
New York. 2005. June 2005. Harper Collins. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0060780924. 432 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph by Reuters/Corbis. keywords: History Africa Eritria Ethiopia Politics. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Scarred by decades of conflict and occupation, the craggy African nation of Eritrea has weathered the world's longest-running guerrilla war. The dogged determination that secured victory against Ethiopia, its giant neighbor, is woven into the national psyche, the product of a series of cynical foreign interventions. Fascist Italy wanted Eritrea as the springboard for a new, racially pure Roman empire, Britain sold off its industry for scrap, the United States needed a base for its state-of-the-art spy station, and the Soviet Union used it as a pawn in a proxy war.' Michael Wrong reveals the breathtaking abuses this tiny nation has suffered and tells the story of colonialism itself. Along the way, we meet a formidable African emperor, a pigheaded English suffragette, and a guerilla fighter who taught himself French cuisine in the bush. inventory #35624 ISBN: 0060780924.
