520    It was the war that changed everything, and yet it's been 
       mostly forgotten: in 1935, Italy invaded Ethiopia. It 
       dominated newspaper headlines and newsreels. It inspired 
       mass marches in Harlem, a play on Broadway, and 
       independence movements in Africa. As the British Navy 
       sailed into the Mediterranean for a white-knuckle showdown
       with Italian ships, riots broke out in major cities all 
       over the United States. Italian planes dropped poison gas 
       on Ethiopian troops, bombed Red Cross hospitals, and 
       committed atrocities that were never deemed worthy of a 
       war crimes tribunal. But unlike the many other depressing 
       tales of Africa that crowd book shelves, this is a 
       gripping thriller, a rousing tale of real-life heroism in 
       which the Ethiopians come back from near destruction and 
       win . Tunnelling through archive records, tracking down 
       survivors still alive today, and uncovering never-before-
       seen photos, Jeff Pearce recreates a remarkable era and 
       reveals astonishing new findings. He shows how the British
       Foreign Office abandoned the Ethiopians to their fate, 
       while Franklin Roosevelt had an ambitious peace plan that 
       could have changed the course of world history--had 
       Chamberlain not blocked him with his policy on Ethiopia. 
       And Pearce shows how modern propaganda techniques, the 
       post-war African world, and modern peace movements all 
       were influenced by this crucial conflict--a war in Africa 
       that truly changed the world
