Great Zulu Battles (1838-1906) by Ian Knight – Hardcover

Second hand Book in Good Condition

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 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.
