Mussolini
promised Italy that she would rival
the great European colonial powers, and
announced his intention to annexe Ethiopia
into Italian East Africa. An Italian army, fully
mechanised and over
125,000
strong, marched
into Ethiopia on
3
October
1935
without any
declaration of war. Completely outgunned
and ravaged by Italian chemical weapons,
the Ethiopian army was swiftly defeated and
Emperor Haile Sellassie went into exile in
Britain. But Mussolini had not crushed the
Ethiopian people s will to fight back
...
This book consists of the recollections
of men and women who took part in the
Ethiopian resistance movement during the
Italo—
Abyssinian War of
1935—41.
Their
long, lonely struggle is testament to their
courage, determination, faith and national
pride. The fighters became known simply
as Patriots and these recollections are
transcripts of personal interviews with some
of their surviving numbers.
Few have heard the story of the Patriots,
but the impact of their struggle was felt far
beyond the borders of their country
—
it was
partly thanks to their efforts during World
War II that the Allies were able to achieve a
swift victory in East Africa, keeping the sea
route open between Britain and the East.
Read about this little-known chapter in military history in this Spellmount Military
Study. The new series will shed light on some of the less well documented yet
significant events in the history of human conflict.
Andrew Hilton is a Chartered Surveyor who travels extensively, especially within Africa, in
