About the Book

From the notice in Publishers Marketplace:

"University of Washington historian Raymond Jonas's When the World Turned: How an African Army Defeated Their European Colonizers at the Battle of Adwa, 1896 tells the monumental story of European hubris and African determination that is filled with clashing armies, strategic blunders, and the pomp of a royal court. Ethiopia's King Menelik and Queen Taitou outwitted the Italian pretenders at nearly every turn and provided the beginning of the end of Africa's colonial era."
