Kurzbeschreibung
Donald Morris delivers an account of the rise of the Zulu nation in southern Africa, and its fall under Cetshwayo in the Zulu war of 1879. For more than a century after the European landing at Cape Town in the 17th century, the Boers had advanced unopposed into the vast interior of Africa. It was not until 1824 that Europeans came face to face with another expanding and imperial power, the Zulus, the most formidable nation in black Africa. That confrontation culminated in a bitter war between the Zulu warriors and Victoria's British Army. It was the last despairing effort of Africans to stem the tide of white civilization. The result was a dramatic, legendary and bloody defeat at Isandhlwana for the British; the aftermath was the defeat and fall of the Zulu nation. This work sets out to be not only a history of the Zulus but also a full-scale study of the British colonial and military policy in relation to southern Africa, and of those involved.

Washing of Spears

Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I was very disappointed with this book. I thought it was on Shaka and he is only a chapter or so. If you want a history of the Zulu nation, you would probably enjoy this book.
Zulu Wars
8. Juni 2010
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
It's a topical year for South Africa and this is the best long-view history of SA I've read. As Europeans settled the Cape, Shaka had established the Zulu Nation as the dominant power along the South East side of the continent. Absolutely fascinating account of the European colonization of South Africa from the early Dutch immigrants through the British acquisition of control and the eventual souring of relationships and betrayal of the Zulus by the British. The book is rich with both socio-political history of both Zulu and European. Eventually the British deceitfully forced Cetshwayo into an unwarranted war and it's the accounts of the so-called Zulu Wars that are most stirring (and, by the way, reminiscent of the American so-called Indian-Wars).
So, watch the World Cup, support your team then when the smoke has cleared, read this book.
