Description
The Ethiopian Army: From Victory to Collapse by Bahru Zewde examines the evolution of the Ethiopian military from its successes in regional conflicts to its eventual disintegration amid internal and external pressures. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Ethiopian Army's role in key historical events, including its participation in the Eritrean War of Independence and the broader conflicts involving neighboring countries. Zewde explores how the military's initial victories and strategic importance gradually gave way to systemic problems, including political infighting, corruption, and logistical challenges. The decline of the Ethiopian Army is contextualized within the broader framework of Ethiopia's political instability and the collapse of the imperial regime. Through a combination of historical narrative and critical analysis, the book offers insights into the factors that led to the army's downfall and the implications for Ethiopia's national security and political landscape.
