Audio Book: Prevail (The Inspiring Story of of Ethiopia's Victory Over Mussolini's Invasion 1935-1941)

As part of the monthly Audible subscription plan, you get access to a "free library" of titles. Skimming through these, one title in particular caught my eye, "Prevail: The Inspiring Story of Ethiopia's Victory Over Mussolini's Invasion 1935-1941". I vaguely knew of the Italy's Abyssinian Campaign from my O-Level (not GCSE, so that ages me) history lessons about the League of Nations failure to act effectively in the interwar years. I was intrigued and felt ashamed for not correctly thinking of it as the Ethiopian Campaign. In my early Western Desert reading there were always references made to the East African Campaign. The "one" Wavell "diverted" resources to (see below, not only does the book describe the war, but also the fascinating political world events and personalities that became involved from Evelyn Waugh, Bernard Shaw, Joe Lewis, Laval and Eden but to name but a few): 

Still a "work in progress" for me .. but the shooting is about to start. 

Note: Ethiopia was the only African country that was a member of the League of Nations, partly because Mussolini's Italy championed its cause, thinking that France or Britain would block its membership, but they didn't. The irony of that cannot be lost, and a great exercise of double-thinking yourself into an awkward political corner!
