Abstract :


This is review of the work of prolific writer and an advocator and participant of Ethiopian Revolutionary party which was confronting Dergue after the revolution. The reviewed book has two main pillars viz. war and revolution in Ethiopia. The first part deals with the spirit of the 1974 Revolution, and the second component narratives about war of comrades against comrades or twin revolutions in Gebru’s word. Thus, the central idea of Gebru lies on elucidating the destructive and constructive dialectics and reciprocative links prevailing between Revolution and War that elapsed from the Monarchical to the ancien regime and down to the post monarchical Ethiopia. The study provides us details about the emergence of revolution, ethno-national insurgency and wars. He has gathered substantive information from protagonists through a series of interviews. The study is also backed with archival materials collected from the Ethiopian Ministries of National Defense and Internal Affairs. Gebru also used countless maps that depict the war fronts and campaigns of the belligerents. Thought Gebru has de-emphasized the ideological and political substance of the primal revolution and gave overemphasis to the military engagements and mayhems, in the first part, he focused on the genesis and outcome of the 1974 revolution.
