Ethiopia & Eritrea (Country Guide)
by Matt Phillips
from Lonely Planet
Awe-inspiring, beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking, Ethiopia and Eritrea are not like anywhere you've been before. A realm of rock-hewn churches, buzzing bazaars and untouched wilderness, the Horn of Africa is truly unique. See the mist rising off the mountains, hear the gurgle of children's laughter in the narrow streets of Harar, or catch a glimpse of a wolf prowling under the thorn trees.
The Best Coverage - the only guidebook to comprehensively cover Ethiopia and Eritrea and explain how to cross between them via Djibouti.
Read Up - all the details you need to travel the Historical Circuit, including ancient cities in northern Ethiopia.
Bring Out The Adventurer - climb a rope, use toeholds or walk a ledge to reach churches and hill-top monasteries.
Eat And Drink - know your injera from your kitfo, and why the third cup of coffee is the most important.
Travel Safely- we keep you worded up on the scams, health issues and no-go areas.

Surrender or Starve: Travels in Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea
by Robert D. Kaplan
from Vintage
Robert D. Kaplan is one of our leading international journalists, someone who can explain the most complicated and volatile regions and show why they’re relevant to our world. In Surrender or Starve, Kaplan illuminates the fault lines in the Horn of Africa, which is emerging as a crucial region for America’s ongoing war on terrorism.
Reporting from Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Eritrea, Kaplan examines the factors behind the famine that ravaged the region in the 1980s, exploring the ethnic, religious, and class conflicts that are crucial for understanding the region today. He offers a new foreword and afterword that show how the nations have developed since the famine, and why this region will only grow more important to the United States. Wielding his trademark ability to blend on-the-ground reporting and cogent analysis, Robert D. Kaplan introduces us to a fascinating part of the world, one that it would behoove all of us to know more about.
