Adwa from Eve to Victory Day is a short historical novel written in commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of the Battle of Adwa in 1896 - an African victory over colonialism achieved through unity among the diverse peoples of multinational and multi ethnic Ethiopia and wise military leadership of Emperor Menelik II and Empress Taitu. The book takes a unique approach of retelling the Battle of Adwa as oral history through a special creative talent and adaptation of fiction writing style. Through this approach the author is able to direct dauntless criticism of those in power at the time of the 100 year anniversary of the Battle Adwa who were engaged in undermining the historical significance of the leadership of Emperor Menilik and Empress Taitu and fomenting divisions between the diverse ethnic groups who stood united to protect the independence of Ethiopia again colonial aggression. The book combines tragedy and comedy. It is satirical, engaging, meaningful and easy to read.
