Interest in the Zulu kings and their armies has never been greater. While much has been written on the Anglo Zulu Wars, the military and social structure of the Zulu Nation has been largely neglected. This book redresses this imbalance.
Covering nearly one hundred years of Zulu military history, this book focuses on the creation, maintenance, development, tactics and ultimate destruction of the Zulu army. It studies the armies, weapons and tactics under the rule of the five Zulu kings from Shaka to Dinizulu.
