About the book

Since 1855, Ethiopia has had four remarkable emperors who have left a deep mark on the evolution of the country's politics over the last 140 years. Yohannes IV (1872-89) alone has not hitherto had serious and sustained scholarly attention and this present study aims to fill this deficit. Magnificent biography makes a significant contribution to Ethiopian studies. This work on a notable ruler, who did much to defend his country against foreign invasion, deserves to be read by all students of Ethiopia' - Richard Pankhurst'
