    When the story told by the one who was sitting on the front raw seat next to the ring, not by the one who was fighting. It feels good and blows away the lies and deceit that are flying like a leaf 🍃 in the fall. I will order one for my family!! My kids will read it!!

    Yea! WE did not learn this part of history coz the dictator Meles Zenawi and his party tplf / EPRDF torn down/cancelled the history book....and started reading it from page 100.So people used to mock on him ...... However, if history is to learn and not to repeat the bad ones is good otherwise history is all about already dead things which is something we can not change.Some use Ethiopian history to dismantle z world ...that is something i always disagree..Thank you Jeff

    Thank you for acknowledging Ethiopia our country. But it began long before Hayleslases time. We us a history says no to any outsides fords. But with Italy, it was Minilik the 2d who defeated and angered the hole Europeans. 💚💛❤️

    What is the name of the Harlem protest footage or what is the title where did you get it from? I would like to get it for myself. Thanks. By the way I'm reading the book and it was well written.
