Review: Empress Taytu and Menilek II: Ethiopia, 1883-1910

User Review  - Gina - Goodreads

It's been many years since I read this, and a lot of the impressions have faded. It seems to me that it was a little impersonal, and not that passionate. Taytu was a strong personality, and I am not sure that the author did her justice, but it was a fairly thorough background at least.
