Fractured States and U.S. Foreign Policy: Iraq, Ethiopia, and Bosnia in the 1990s by Evelyn Farkas in Back Matter (1), and Back Matter (2)
This book does a good job of describing how the interests of the Eritrean people were sacrificed in the name of Ethiopian aggrandizement, British post-WW 2 decline, and American Cold War fears.
Though Yohannes seems at times to be less than objective, on balance I think he gives a concise picture of the manner in which the so-called "free" world turned its back on Eritrea's right to self-determination, all the while protesting communism's trampling of the same rights.
