About the Author
Tafari Makonnen was born on July 23rd 1892 at Ejarsa Goro in the hills of Hararghe. Makonnen Walda-Mikael, his father, had recently been appointed Ras and governed this vast province of eastern Ethiopia from the ancient walled city of Harar.
In 1905, the year before Ras Makonnen's death, the young Tafari received his first military title-Dejazmach. Following in his father's footsteps, he was appointed Ras of Harar in 1910. Upon the succession of Empress Zawditu in 1917 Ras Tafari became Regent to the throne and in November 1930 was crowned Negus Negast Haile Sellassie 1.

A Beautiful Story about a Beautiful Man and Nation,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Life and Ethiopia's Progress: The Autobiography of Emperor Haile Sellassie I (Volume 1) (My Life and Ethiopia's Progress) (My Life and Ethiopia's Progress) (Paperback)
This is a book that should be read and studied by all believers in God. It should also be studied by people who are interested in a career in political science or people who eventually want to become a prime minister. And, it should be read by national leaders who still believe that Plato's 'philosopher king' can lead the people of a democratic nation. As President Putin of Russia continues to say correctly that there are many different forms of democracy that will work properly.This book showed me that Germany's Hitler and Italy's Mussolini were very ugly and inhumane. It also shows that religions can be ungodly when they force a religion onto free people. It shows the origin of today's terrorism. Emperor Haile Sellassie I was a great developer of the human spirit and Nature's resources. Everything he did was for the benefit of the people of Ethiopia and those nations that joined the League of Nations. His work to unify science and theology was new and should become a 'development' model for all nations today.

By A Customer
This review is from: My Life and Ethiopia's Progress: The Autobiography of Emperor Haile Sellassie I (Volume 1) (My Life and Ethiopia's Progress) (My Life and Ethiopia's Progress) (Paperback)
The whole work of the book is very inspirational, historically it is educational and legendary. The new generations of Ethiopian or the Eritrean will learn from it what they have not been told correctly. History never chnages. The book has it all. It is compiled very well, charismatic and the writer is to be admired for his great work. Everyone must read this book for self uplifting or for your edification.
