Download or read book The Zulus at War written by Adrian Greaves and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By tracing the long and turbulent history of the Zulus from their arrival in South Africa and the establishment of Zululand, The Zulus at War is an important and readable addition to this popular subject area. It describes the violent rise of King Shaka and his colorful successors under whose leadership the warrior nation built a fearsome fighting reputation without equal among the native tribes of South Africa. It also examines the tactics and weapons employed during the numerous intertribal battles over this period. They then became victims of their own success in that their defeat of the Boers in 1877 and 1878 in the Sekunini War prompted the well-documented British intervention. Initially the might of the British empire was humbled as never before by the shock Zulu victory at Isandlwana but the 1879 war ended with the brutal crushing of the Zulu Nation. But, as Adrian Greaves reveals, this was by no means the end of the story. The little known consequences of the division of Zululand, the Boer War, and the 1906 Zulu Rebellion are analyzed in fascinating detail. An added attraction for readers is that this long-awaited history is written not just by a leading authority but, thanks to the coauthor’s contribution, from the Zulu perspective using much completely fresh material.

Download or read book The Eight Zulu Kings written by John Laband and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Eight Zulu Kings, well-respected and widely published historian John Laband examines the reigns of the eight Zulu kings from 1816 to the present. Starting with King Shaka, the renowned founder of the Zulu kingdom, he charts the lives of the kings Dingane, Mpande, Cetshwayo, Dinuzulu, Solomon and Cyprian, to today's King Goodwill Zwelithini whose role is little more than ceremonial. In the course of this investigation Laband places the Zulu monarchy in the context of African kingship and tracks and analyses the trajectory of the Zulu kings from independent and powerful pre-colonial African rulers to largely powerless traditionalist figures in post-apartheid South Africa.

Download or read book Like Lions They Fought written by Robert B. Edgerton and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fighting spears to bayonets, black against white, the Zulus met the British at Isandlwana in 1879 in the first great battle of perhaps the bloodiest and most dramatic war in African colonial history. The Zulu warriors took on Queen Victoria's "red soldiers" and massacred them. Despite the incredible victory of the astonishingly brave black warriors, when the bloodletting of the ferocious conflict ended, 10,000 Zulus lay dead, and with them, the last great black empire on the African continent. In this beautifully written and riveting account, Robert B. Edgerton examines this epic colonial war for the first time as it was experienced by the Zulus. Drawing on both new and previously overlooked accounts from the African warriors as well as on new British sources, he not only magnificently recreates the combat, but vividly unravels the human and the political story of both sides in a land that later became apartheid South Africa. "Like Lions They Fought" presents a moving and eminently readable chronicle that probes the inner lives of the men in the two great armies, and captures war at its most brutal. -- From publisher's description.
