I Didn't Do It for You

Michela Wrong uncovers the profound suffering endured by Eritrea, a nation scarred by decades of conflict and occupation, including the world's longest-running guerrilla war. She meticulously details the cynical foreign interventions that shaped its destiny, from Fascist Italy's imperial ambitions to the Cold War's proxy battles. This book offers a sharp-eyed account of colonialism and how international power politics can devastatingly impact a country's fate.
