Chris: Very well written. This short book that I finished in one sitting is not only a historical source but also an inspirational one. It shows that the lack in engineering and technology development should not stop us from standing our ground.

Jude Champagne: A quick and well written read from a fascinating perspective, Jamaican American author who raises wide look at Ethiopia in the context of the world with a specific survey addressing the wide African diaspora. Lots of references for further exploration.

John Roberson: Great little book, can read it in an hour or two and you will not regret. It's a 1936 sales pitch to the European powers that it would be bad for Italy to conquer Ethiopia. Did you know that Ethiopia was the first Christian nation? That it was never conquered by a European power? That it is large, populous, optimistic, proud, industrious, and above all green?
Written by a Jamaican who came of age in New York during the Harlem Renaissance, the book is passionate, personal, and a downright pleasure to read -- not the dry tome one fears when presented with the term "history book." Nonetheless, despite his personal investment in the thesis, Rogers does not get bogged down in being negative about white supremacy nor resort to conspiracy theories, as do many authors on such topics. Rather he sticks to enriching stories and real facts.
Highly recommended.
