Abstract of Review
Title:The Struggle Over Eritrea, 1962-1978: War and Revolution in the Horn of Africa by Haggai Erlich
Reviewer:James Rees
Location:Vol.11 No.30 (Autumn 1984), pp133-135
 Seldom can a book have become more quickly outdated or disproved than the one under review. The author, Haggai Erlich, concludes with a picture of a strong centralised, re-born Ethiopia inflicting a moral blow on a 'rootless' Eritrean movement that had missed its historical opportunity for independent statehood. Today, such an assessment is patently unconvincing. The Ethiopian empire-state continues to be beset by rebellion in the north, southeast and southwest.
