This was a heart wrenching, painful read. I have not read about this conflict, but this was a horrifying glimpse into people’s realities. Make sure you’re in the right headspace for this.

Absolutely searing look at the revolution in Ethiopia and the rule of the Derg. Brutally difficult to read but so hard to put down.
