A remarkable book that discusses Menelik's heritage, Yassu and Tafari, animals and people, the generation gap and the coup. The revolution is focused on in three different spectrums: the young generation, the crescendo, and the finale.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Lockot was head of the Research Division of the National Library of Ethiopia for 20 years, although there is no indication he had any personal dealings with Haile Sellassie. While not altogether denying the subject's shortcomings, this book is really a hagiography of an emperor who "ruled his country like a virtuoso soloist playing a concerto." It attempts to shed light on the "landscape" of his mind, but Lockot's unsubstantiated generalizations detract from what might otherwise be a readable, if opinionated, book for general readers. For small collections Peter Schwab's Haile Selassie I (Nelson-Hall, 1979) would be a better selection.
