The detailed account of the course of battles and events, starting from the incident of "Wal'a" and ending with the end of the war and the Emperor's return to his kingdom, and the biographies of the most prominent nobles, resistance leaders, exiles abroad, and members of the imperial court.

This study is considered a fundamental reference for any researcher or interested party in modern Ethiopian history. It is characterized by comprehensiveness and focus, as it covers Ethiopian history starting from Emperor Theodore until the current ruling regime. It also offers vision and interpretation. Although it does not add much about the Sudanese-Ethiopian role in the events and incidents in the liberation of Ethiopia, it provided a comprehensive and complete explanation of the imperial system in Ethiopia, especially during the reign of Haile Selassie, and details about the resistance movement and the effects of the occupation and the war of liberation on the political life.

This book is limited to presenting the biography of Emperor Haile Selassie from his birth until the Italian occupation, focusing on the important stages of his life and his journey to the throne, from commander to king and regent, until he became emperor.
