Berhanu Denqe

He was born to Aleqa Denqe, the head of the Entoto Raguel and Wechacha Mariam churches, and he died in Jefferson City, Missouri.

His other works are የኢትዮጵያ አጭር ታሪክ which was used as a textbook in the 1940s, and a play about Makeda, the Queen of Sheba (ንግሥተ ዓዜብ).

Berhanu Denqe’s ቄሳር እና አብዮት reveals some of the posts he held in Ethiopia, including the ministries of education and foreign affairs in the 1940s and 1950s.

There are some anecdotal references to members of the nobility in high offices clashing with Berhanu over issues such as telephone bills.

In this book, Berhanu accuses the emperor of repeated attempts at his life while abroad and the suffering of his old mother in Ethiopia.
