Republicans on the Throne is a memoir spanning the author Tekalign Gedamus early life during the waning days of the old feudal order, his six-decade career in the United Nations, the African Development Bank, and the government of Ethiopia. The book describes the authors university education and early career as an international civil servant. It focuses on Ethiopias modernization and her painful quest for democracy. For a brief spell, the author was privileged to be an eyewitness and a modest participant to that process. Republicans on the Throne offers a glimpse into the problems of a new educational system. The expansion of education left in its wake a demand for more fundamental reforms which Emperor Haile Selassies government was increasingly unable to meet. The result was a coup detat in 1960 that failed and another in 1974 that succeeded and triggered a Marxist revolution that promised a new era of equality, democracy, and revitalized nationalism. The book examines closely the fundamental forces behind the revolution along with its failed attempts to improve the countrys fortunes on both the economic and political fronts.
