I Didn't Do It For You by Michela Wrong
Eritrea, once part of the long departed Axumite empire, is a country created by the Italians out of a collection of warlord's domains. Even in African terms the country is little known to the world, but its history is a fascinating one, and shows the best, and worst, of Africa. I Didn't Do It For You, Michela Wrong's second book, is a must-read.
