Asmara: Africa's Secret Modernist City
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - UK
The book provides a useful summary

earliest Italian buildings, and the design of the city in conjunction with a

Arab traders, a third for industry and a fourth for natives). This small fact
illuminates how the birth of this city and its beauty are tied to a most
lamentable past.
