Fantahun Ayele is an assistant professor of history at Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia. He was the second recipient of the Global Encounters postdoctoral appointment in African Studies at Northwestern University, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
"...a meticulously researched and well-argued book that scholars of
military history in Africa will find useful." --International
Journal of African Historical Studies
"...Fantahun Ayele's comprehensive study of the Ethiopian army from
its triumph in the Ogaden War of 1977-78 to its eventual
ignominious collapse against a rebel coalition in 1991 is
extraordinarily impressive. Ayele has gathered a massive trove of
previously unseen information and synthesized it to produce a
singular volume that...should find a home on the shelf of any
military historian with an interest in Africa or any Africanist who
carries an interest in the Horn of Africa." -H-Net Reviews
