Michela Wrong opens this book on the -- to Westerners -- negligible country of Eritrea with a marvelous anecdote. She was sitting in Cairo airport's transit lounge near a middle-aged Pakistani who introduced himself as a salesman who traveled Africa and the Middle East looking for possible markets for his multinational company. Wrong, in turn, told him that she was a journalist writing a book about Eritrea, which is where she was headed. He was confused. "You are writing a book about Algeria?" "No. Eritrea." "Nigeria?" "No, Eritrea." "Al-Jazeera?" "No. Eritrea. Small country on the Red Sea. Used to be part of Ethiopia." The Pakistani closed the conversation: "I'm sorry. But I've simply never heard of the place."The book's title comes from a story, apocryphal one hopes, of a British captain leading his war-weary men into the capital city of Asmara after the battle of Keren, which, although little-known, was among the toughest and most brutal battles of World War II. He was greeted by an old Eritrean woman, enthusiastically ululating in celebration of her country's liberation from Italian Fascist rule. The captain interrupted her high-pitched shrilling with a savage "I didn't do it for you, n****r."That too is a theme of Wrong's book: Nothing, absolutely nothing, that the world's powers -- from Italy, to Great Britain, to the United States, to Russia, to Israel -- have done in Eritrea since 1880 has been for the Eritreans. Instead, Eritrea has been a venue for colonialism, pillaging, and the exercise of Cold War and Middle East realpolitik, and a pimple on the rump of Ethiopia.Essentially, I DIDN'T DO IT FOR YOU is a history of Eritrea, and because Eritrea has been so closely engaged with its neighbor Ethiopia, also a history of Ethiopia. Ethiopia believes that Eritrea should be part of it, which, of course, would give it access to the Red Sea. By and large, Wrong rebuts Ethiopia's arguments. Yet from 1950 to 1990 Ethiopia exercised varying degrees of control over Eritrea, and from 1962 to 1992 Eritrea fought a bitter, heroic, and ultimately successful War of Independence.That War of Independence -- as well as its aftermath, first tantalizingly promising but now sadly depressing (Eritrea now is essentially a one-party country presided over by Isaias Afwerki, a dictator for all intents and purposes) -- is the central episode of the book. The major secondary ones consist of Eritrea being buffeted about by the Italians, then the British, and later the Americans. In yet another instance I learn how my country's post-World War II foreign policy was shameful and misguided.Admirable in many ways, I DIDN'T DO IT FOR YOU could have been better. It is too hasty and unnecessarily confusing. Seemingly containing everything that Wrong ever reported or researched in a decade of covering Eritrea, the book is too long for the general reader. Moreover, while briskly written, it is riddled with threadbare clichés. (No book should contain more than one "turning a blind eye"; this one contains four or five, as well as a couple instances of "falling on deaf ears".)P.S.: I bought my copy of the book sight unseen from an on-line book dealer. It is boldly signed in the front by Stanley March 3. He apparently followed a practice I too follow whenever possible, as pasted inside the rear cover is a copy of the "New York Times" review of the book. Ah, the caprices of the second-hand book market.
A fantastic book written from the inside of the Eritrean Civil war. The author outlines what was quite possibly the most unique rebellion in African history. She does a masterful job of portraying the initial years of the EPLF and their ability to mobilize the populace and utilize the safe havens available to support their efforts. The contrast between Mengistu's governance and that of the EPLF in the initial years is stark and telling. The sad part of the book is the decline of inclusive governance and ultimate strong man rule by Afwerki. Although the title speaks of "how the world betrayed a small African nation," it might well have been: "How a revolution betrayed itself. It would be a true seminal work if Ms. Wrong did a follow on book or an updated version covering the period from 2005 to the present.I Didn't Do It for You: How the World Betrayed a Small African Nation (P.S.)
As an Eritrean raised in post independence Eritrea, reading this book really gave me an interesting and critical perspective. It gave a view of how Eritrea is seen from outside. I enjoyed reading it, and I learned a lot I didn't know about my country. There are seemingly unimportant facts and little details that answer questions I've asked myself all my life. Thanks to Wrong I now have a deeper view into my lovely country's past. I would recommend this book as a reading text in schools in Eritrea, and also to anyone who wants to learn about Eritrea in a fun, enjoyable way. Thank you Michela Wrong for contributing such a wonderful book about my people and my country.
I grabbed this as the most highly rated book on Eritrea. I fully understand after zipping through the pages.Well written, dry, witty, and insightful as to the human and political relationships that form this nation, it has served as my primer. I will read more on Eritrea, but doubt that it will be as enjoyable.Excellent job. I, too, hope to ride that train one day.
This is well written and I'm interested in Eritrea, but it gets very bogged down in the minutiae of the various political machinations at times.
Must read... almost every page gives you something totally new...
Incredible story of a tiny nation fighting for its life against a giant and winning!
I knew - and cared, frankly - nothing at all about Eritrea when I started this book. It is incredibly well-written and a fascinating account of a story that should be better known. While I am to the right of the author, one has to respect her research, keen insights, and writing skills. I have now purchased her other books.
