Published by New York: League of Nations, 1935. 1st Edition. 76p white stapled booklet with dusty card cover, slightly worn, colour frontispiece, appendix, pages clean, a very good copy.

A fascinating contemporary look at the buildup to the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, including a final polemical chapter decrying the activities of Mussolini in "civilizing" Abyssinia .

The Abyssinia Crisis was an international crisis in 1935 that originated in what was called the Walwal incident during the ongoing conflict between the Kingdom of Italy and the Empire of Ethiopia (then commonly known as "Abyssinia"). The League of Nations ruled against Italy and voted for economic sanctions, but they were never fully applied. Italy ignored the sanctions, quit the League, made special deals with the United Kingdom and France and ultimately annexed and occupied Abyssinia after it had won the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. The crisis is generally regarded as having discredited the league.
