Adwa: The Day Africa Defied Empire: How Ethiopia's Victory Shattered Colonial Myths and Redrew History


Overview

The book chronicles the Battle of Adwa, a landmark event where Ethiopia, under the leadership of Emperor Menelik II and Empress Taytu Betul, successfully repelled a European invasion during the ""Scramble for Africa"" (pp. 8-9).
