Red Sea Press, 2005 - History - 294 pages
The 1988 war between Eritrea and Ethiopia came like a bolt from the blue. The two countries, who, until that point had been allies, were pitched into a brutal conflict. Finally, after two and a half years a peace agreement was signed but the conditions of this peace are contended by Ethiopia. The result: a cold peace that could degenerate into open warfare at any time. This book brings together contributions that take the reader through recent events and include original documents, some of which haven't been previously revealed.
