Ras Alula was one of the big men or Telek Saw who played a prominent role in the making of modern Ethiopia. He was famous enough to be lamented by a British historian as, "the greatest leader that abyssinia has produced since the death of the emperor Theodore in 1868." As remembered by the Ethiopians and reflected in their literature, "The famous and brave Ras Alula."

This is unique, interesting and well documented book,
By Deborah Jessie (Paris France (EU)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ras Alula and the Scramble for Africa: A Political Biography : Ethiopia & Eritrea 1875-1897 (Paperback)
I read with great interest Haggai's latest book: "Ras Alula and the Scramble for Africa: A Political Biography: Ethiopia & Eritrea 1875-1897"As most people agree this is unique, interesting and well documented book. Only I wish, for historical reason, the title was different. For instance Abyssinia rather than "Eritrea & Ethiopia" because these names were given by colonial powers that divided and ruled the country with disastrous consequence that we all know. He should be applauded for his effort and great interest in Abyssinian unique history. Deborah Jessie
