| Description: |
The Zulu kingdom, created on the eastern seaboard of southern Africa by King Shaka, was robust and largely self-sufficient, but royal rivalries and the arrival of white colonialists created conflict. This work explores ten key battles in detail, up to the eventual breaking of the Royal House. |
| Synopsis: |
The Zulu kingdom established by King Shaka was robust and self-sufficient, but royal rivalries and newly arrived white colonialists made it a bloody period that shaped the face of modern Africa. This much-deserved, detailed depiction of day-to-day combat during nine of the most influential battles--from Thuleka in 1838 through the Civil war to the breaking of the royal house--pulses with excitement. All the courage and horror of hand-to-hand fighting and strategic genius come through on every page. |
