## Description

desertcart.com: A History of Ethiopia Updated Edition: 9780520224797: Marcus, Harold G.: Books

Review: Great overview - Marcus' "A History of Ethiopia" is a great overview of Ethiopia's history. It is focused more on the modern era, especially the 20th century. It does get confusing occasionally while reading due to some Ethiopians have very similar names to others, as well as Marcus' use of the nobility's titles, which can add to the confusion. Overall I loved the book, and would highly recommend it to those wanting an introduction and overview of Ethiopian history. I also recommend Marcus' other books, especially his biography of Haile Selassie.
Review: Five Stars - great

great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good genereal overview
*by L***T on January 19, 2021*

The book is a good general overview, beginning from Lucy (being a creationist I have a problem with that) until the end of the Ethio-Eritrean border war. I got many insights which I didn't have before, especially about the end of the Haile Selassie regime. Imagine what Ethiopia would have been today if Ras Bitwoded Endalkachew Mekonnen would have got a chance to implement his liberal ideas! So I recommend this book, but of course such a long period always must pick and choose what to include.
