The book explores how the Ethiopian masses' reasonable demands for change escalated into a radical revolution, resulting in civil wars, economic decline, and ethnic politics. It argues that elite conflicts over limited resources fueled power struggles, leading to the adoption of ideologies that justified zero-sum politics. This dynamic ultimately transformed the quest for socialist equality and freedom into a tumultuous period marked by significant upheaval and division.
