The Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Party: Between a Rock and a Hard Place, 1975-2008

This book is about the 30 year journey of the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Party (EPRP) in the political landscape of Ethiopia. In 1975, the party emerged by spectacularly dashing onto the revolutionary stage in almost all parts of Ethiopia, only to see it unglamorously disappear from the urban stage four short years later. In The Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Party Gebreselassie tries to answer why that was so. Summing up the 30 year experience of EPRP and other political forces, the book emphasises the call for national dialogue and reconciliation.
