Description
The British Expedition to Abyssinia, written by Henry Montague Hozier in 1869, is a historical account of the British military campaign in Ethiopia (then known as Abyssinia) during the mid-19th century. The book details the events leading up to the expedition, including the diplomatic tensions between Britain and Ethiopia, as well as the military preparations made by the British forces.The expedition itself was led by Sir Robert Napier and aimed to rescue several British hostages being held by the Ethiopian emperor, Tewodros II. The book provides a detailed account of the battles and skirmishes that took place during the campaign, including the key Battle of Magdala, which marked the end of the conflict.Throughout the book, Hozier provides insight into the political and social climate of the time, including the attitudes of the British towards the people of Ethiopia and the impact of the campaign on the country's history. The book also includes illustrations and maps to help readers better understand the geography and events of the expedition.Overall, The British Expedition to Abyssinia is a comprehensive and well-researched account of an important moment in British military history and the wider colonial context of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
