"Ethiopia through Russian Eyes" consists of two books: *From Entotto to the
River Baro* and *With the Armies of Menelik II*, both written by Alexander
Bulatovich and translated by Richard Seltzer. This is a unique and detailed
first-hand account of Ethiopia in 1896-98--at the change of an era--by a
Russian officer with remarkable understanding for the many varied people who
lived there and keen insight into their destiny. (This book is not available
in print.)
At the same site, you will find the complete text of *The Name of Hero* by
Richard Seltzer, a historical novel based on the life of Bulatovich.
