The definitive account of a bloody and tragic event: the rise of the Zulu nation under the great ruler Shaka, and its fall under Cetshwayo in the Zulu War of 1879. The record of their war is studded with tales of unparalleled drama: the Battle of Isandhlwana, where the Zulu impis wiped out the major British column; Rorke's Drift, where a handful of British troops beat off thousands of attacking Zulu warriors (and won eleven Victoria crosses); the death of the Prince Imperial of France, the son of Napoleon III... 655pp.
