Description:
First edition. This work details the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, also known as the Second Italo-Abyssinian War, a war fought between Italy and Ethiopia from October 1935 to February 1937. George Lowther Steer (1909-1944) was a South African-born British journalist, author and war correspondent, noted for his war reporting for The Times, especially the Second Italo-Abyssinian War. His eye-witness reports did much to alert western nations of war crimes committed by the Italians in Ethiopia.
Steer writes in the preface that he aimed 'to show what was the strength and spirit of the Ethiopian armies sent against a European Great Power'.
