Haile Selassies Government (1930 – 1974)

Description

Haile Selassie’s Government serves as a gripping chronicle of the swift and merciless replacement of Ethiopian imperial rule by military junta. Forty years since its publication, the lasting appeal of Haile Sellassie’s Government lies in its ability to truthfully capture a fallen political order in a perspective that is not only informative in its revealing of the structural weaknesses that lead to the collapse of the regime, but also evocative in its detailing of the traumas that struck the twilight years both of Haile-Selassie and his imperial government order.
