Prince Erm Selassie

Haile Selassie I's Ethiopia, Volume One Prince Erm Selassie

Haile Selassie I's Ethiopia, Volume One: The Rise of the Priestly Warrior Kings is a fascinating exploration of the Ethiopian royal history anchored by the birth story of Ethiopia's 225th ruler from the Solomonic line, His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I.

This first of seven planned volumes explores the Ethiopian history and conditions in 1892, the year that Haile Selassie I was born, from a pan-African perspective. It outlines how his birth occurred in the midst of the European scramble for Africa, marking the end of an era and the dawn of a new beginning. Transporting the reader through time, this work gives a front row seat to the events that shaped not only Ethiopia but the world-at-large.
