Eyewitness in Abyssinia by Herbert Matthews is a powerful first-hand account of the Italian invasion of Ethiopia (Abyssinia) in 1935–36, written by New York Times correspondent Herbert Matthews.
Covering military operations, political tension, and the human impact of the conflict, Matthews provides vivid reporting from the front lines, including battlefield observations and encounters with Ethiopian and Italian forces. Illustrated with contemporary photographs, this book remains an important primary source for historians and students of modern African and military history.
A key narrative documenting the lead-up to WWII and Italy's imperial ambitions under Mussolini.
