A very good historical read on the history of the Zulu peoples. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes history on the Zulu wars.

I’m certainly no history expert, but this text seems to be balanced and well researched, and the author puts it all together in an easy-to-read and engaging style. Once again, taking ‘pot-luck’ on the books on offer has paid dividends for me. I am slowly, but steadily, adding to my knowledge of history. - Something my history teachers said I would never do!

"Highly recommended for the research examining the South African Frontier Wars."

Dr Adrian Greaves, The Anglo-Zulu War Historical Society

In-depth knowledge, well-researched, and a non-nonsense approach to this interesting subject. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject, and to the readers who already know something about this subject, since it gives such detailed information that it might be a bit too much if you are completely new to this subject. However, if you know the basics about this subject, this will be an excellent read for you, and you will gain a lot of new knowledge!

I would recommend it as a good jumping off place for a closer examination of the wars in South Africa and as a very useful overview of a military and diplomatic situation quite typical of those that occurred in the late nineteenth century British Empire as it evolved away from its earlier foundations.
