Ethiopia: A Country Study

This edition of Ethiopia: A Country Study examines the revolutionary government’s record until a few months before its demise. Subsequent events are discussed in the Introduction. Like its predecessor, this study investigates the historical, social, economic, political, and national security forces that helped determine the nature of Ethiopian society. Sources of information used in the study’s preparation included scholarly books, journals, and monographs; official reports of governments and international organizations; numerous periodicals; the authors’ previous research and observations; and interviews with individuals who have special competence in Ethiopian and African affairs. Chapter bibliographies appear at the end of the book; brief comments on sources recommended for further reading appear at the end of each chapter.
