Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Erlich, one of the world's leading authorities on the Horn of Africa, has masterfully captured the history of the Tigrinya-speaking peoples in Ethiopia and Eritrea.' -- David H. Shinn, former US Ambassador to Ethiopia 'Rich in detail, colour and analysis. A brisk, warm and timely account of Tigray's history and Ethiopia's "mysterious magnetism."' -- Andrew Harding, BBC Africa correspondent, and author of 'The Mayor of Mogadishu' 'A unique, engaging and wonderful book by a one-of-a-kind scholar. With a vast amount of fascinating detail about the history of Tigray, Eritrea and Ethiopia, Erlich offers insight that cannot be found elsewhere.' -- Alex de Waal, Executive Director, World Peace Foundation 'A compelling narrative by one of the most eminent historians of the region. The sweep is grand and the analysis is granular. This should be read by anyone interested in the historical context within which the current crisis in Ethiopia is being played out.' -- Richard Reid, Professor of African History, University of Oxford 'Tigrayans on both sides of the border must learn from the experiences of their forefathers. There is nothing better than this book for the start of such an effort.' -- Mulugeta Gebrehiwot, Senior Fellow, World Peace Foundation -- Mulugeta Gebrehiwot, Senior Fellow, World Peace Foundation 'Synthesising the extensive knowledge of a prominent and widely respected historian of the Horn of Africa, this readable and provocative book offers much to engage both the academic specialist and a broad readership across the region and beyond.' -- Sarah Vaughan, co-author of 'Understanding Ethiopia's Tigray War'
