This authoritative, yet hugely readable, book traces the history of
the Zulus from their arrival in South Africa they were not
indigenous as were the Koi and San population and the establishment
of Zululand. It describes the violent rise of King Shaka and his
colourful successors under whose leadership the warrior nation
built its fiercesome reputation. It studies the tactics and weapons
employed during the numerous inter-tribal battles that occurred.
The Zulus real struggle for survival, rather than supremacy, came
in wars against the white settlers. In 1877/78 they defeated the
Boers in the Sekunini War and this prompted British intervention.
Initially the might of the British empire was humbled but the 1879
war, despite the shock Zulu victory at Isandlwana, saw the crushing
of the Zulu Nation. The little known consequences of the division
of Zululand, the Boer War and the 1906 Zulu Rebellion are analysed
in fascinating detail.
