Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia by Nigusie Kassaye W. Michael
examines the political history of the last Emperor of Ethiopia,
Haile Selassie I. Michael provides a comprehensive account of the
Ethiopian domestic and foreign politics during Haile Selassie's
reign, a time when Ethiopia reached the peak of its power. Drawing
on Russian and Ethiopian archival sources, this book analyzes Haile
Selassie I as not only the final Emperor of Ethiopia but also the
founder of centralized Ethiopia with access to the sea. He reigned
the country for 58 years, and for 44 years he was at the top of the
Empire. But more important than the duration of his rule, the
monarch carried out numerous, important reforms that encouraged the
country’s development and growth of its international authority.
Michael argues that Haile Selassie was the founder of modern
Ethiopian diplomacy. In 1974, when the monarch left his palace,
Ethiopia was a member of the United Nations, the Organization of
African Unity, the World Health Organization, the International Red
Cross, etc. and maintained diplomatic relations with 81 states, 61
of which had embassies and missions in Addis Ababa.
