King of kings : the triumph and tragedy of emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia

Asfa-Wossen Asserate2017
Books, Manuscripts
Haile Selassie I, the last emperor of Ethiopia, was as brilliant as he was formidable. A descendant of King Solomon and an early proponent of African unity and independence, Haile Selassie fought with the Allies against the Axis powers during World War II and was a messianic figure for the Jamaican Rastafarians. Written by Asfa-Wossen Asserate, Haile Selassie's grandnephew, this is a biography on this final 'king of kings'.
