I picked up this book because my uncle lives in Eritrea and I knew next to nothing about the place. It was immediately apparent that the writing was that of a journalist and not a historian but Wrong does a good job of placing the modern problems in a historical context. Some might say that the author is anti-American in her presentation but, if the shoe fits... The subject of Eritrea is important from both a humanitarian and strategic perspective but most Americans couldn't find the place on a map. A recommended read.
