The Addis Ababa Massacre - Italy's National Shame (Hardcover)

In February 1937, following an abortive attack by a handful of
insurgents on Mussolini's High Command in Italian-occupied
Ethiopia, 'repression squads' of armed Blackshirts and Fascist
civilians were unleashed on the defenceless residents of Addis
Ababa. In three terror-filled days and nights of arson, murder and
looting, thousands of innocent and unsuspecting men, women and
children were roasted alive, shot, bludgeoned, stabbed to death, or
blown to pieces with hand-grenades. Meanwhile the notorious Viceroy
Rodolfo Graziani, infamous for his atrocities in Libya, took the
opportunity to add to the carnage by eliminating the intelligentsia
and nobility of the ancient Ethiopian empire in a pogrom that swept
across the land. In a richly illustrated and ground-breaking work
backed up by meticulous and scholarly research, Ian Campbell
reconstructs and analyses one of Fascist Italy's least known
atrocities, which he estimates eliminated 19-20 per cent of the
capital's population.He exposes the hitherto little known cover-up
conducted at the highest levels of the British government, which
enabled the facts of one of the most hideous civilian massacres of
all time to be concealed, and the perpetrators to walk free.
