The Italian Invasion of Ethiopia recounts Mussolini’s 1935–36 war against one of Africa’s few independent states. It follows the mobilisation of Italian forces from Eritrea and Somaliland, Ethiopian resistance under Emperor Haile Selassie and the use of overwhelming firepower and chemical weapons. The book also examines the failure of League of Nations sanctions, the establishment of Italian East Africa and the invasion’s importance in the collapse of interwar collective security.
