Pub Year 1936, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> In Caesar in Abyssinia, G L Steer offers a detailed examination of the Ttalo-Ethiopian War, presenting a narrative that contrasts the Italian military's achievements with the capabilities of the Ethiopian forces. The title suggests a focus on the prominent figure of Julius Caesar and evokes imagery of grand battles, but Steer clarifies that his account diverges from traditional portrayals of heroism in warfare. Instead, he aims to shed light on the actual circumstances faced by Ethiopian armies as they confronted a formidable European power.Steer critically assesses the military dynamics of the conflict, noting the significant imbalance in weaponry and resources between the Italian forces and their Ethiopian counterparts. He acknowledges the effective strategy employed by Italy, which secured their objective of Addis Ababa within seven months. However, he also emphasises the excessive force used and stresses that this conflict does not accurately reflect the capabilities or organisation of the Italian Army against a more equally matched enemy. Through meticulous analysis, the book seeks to reveal the strength and resilience of Ethiopian troops, despite their lack of artillery, air support, and modern arms.The reading experience combines military analysis with an exploration of underrepresented perspectives in historical narratives. Steer's work invites readers to reconsider conventional ideas regarding warfare and the strength of nations, offering insights into Ethiopian military spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. Ultimately, Caesar in Abyssinia serves as a platform for a deeper understanding of this significant conflict, moving beyond merely recounting events to reflect on the broader implications of military engagement and national pride.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. 1st Edition. First edition. Hardback. 23 × 14.5cm, 256pp, with two fold-out maps to the rear. This copy has an interesting history. It was owned by J K (Jack) Maurice, with his ownership signature to the front pastedown and two loose photographs of him - one from 1937 and one from 1948, and those ten years left their mark on him! J K Maurice was a long serving British colonial officer who managed the British / Sudanese enclave of Gambella (in western Ethiopia) from 1928 to 1949. He brought some stability and order to the area during a volatile time for the Nilotic tribes. He tenure included a skirmish where he rescued an Ethiopian frontier force attacked by the local Baro Anuak people, and managing diplomatic relations with the Italians who were trying to force the British out of Africa. When the Second World War broke out, he escped by canoe to Malakal in Sudan, before returning in the early 1940s where he remained until his retirement in 1949. The book acts as a sequel to Steer's earlier work, Caesar in Abyssinia (1936), which had documented the initial Italian invasion of Ethiopia. Sealed and Delivered picks up the thread to cover the joint British, Indian, African, and Ethiopian guerrilla campaign that drove out the Italian forces and restored Emperor Haile Selassie to the throne in May 1941. Condition: A fair reading copy. The covers have spotted fading and there is a tear to the fabric at the head of the spine. Light foxing to the pages and some little movement to the binding but otherwise remaining in strong readable condition.…
