Bounded by Sudan to the west and north, Kenya to the south, Somalia to the southeast, and Eritrea and Djibouti to the northeast, Ethiopia is a pivotal country in the geopolitics of the region. Yet it is important to understand this ancient and often splintered country in its own right. In A History of Modern Ethiopia, Bahru Zewde, one of Ethiopia's leading historians, provides a compact and comprehensive history of his country, particularly the last two centuries. Of importance to historians, political scientists, journalists, and Africanists alike, Bahru's A History of Modern Ethiopia, now with additional material taking it up to the last decade, will be the preeminent overview of present-day Ethiopia.

"This is an extremely important book. It is the first modern history of Ethiopia of any consequence. It illuminates the background to contemporary Ethiopian political and social developments and should be required reading for the journalists, leader-writers and social scientists who have taken up Ethiopian issues. It contributes a mature and thoughtful Ethiopian voice to the discussion of major questions." Donald Crummey, Professor of History, Univ of Illinois
