Probably one of my favourite books about Somali history called Making Sense of Somali History: Volume 1

Here: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=X1dDDwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Abdullahi,+Abdurahman&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjI0ZbTpLLdAhWERMAKHTCIDmQQ6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=Abdullahi, Abdurahman&f=false

An Ethiopian chronicles mention a lot of positive things about Somalis and the book is called Ethiopia: The Land, Its People, History and Culture.

Here: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Q0pZPp032c0C&printsec=frontcover&dq=Ethiopia:+The+Land,+Its+People,+History+and+Culture&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiW07uepbLdAhVLAsAKHRu-B-8Q6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=Ethiopia: The Land, Its People, History and Culture&f=false

There are many more books I can share but needs some extra researching.
