Description
SHAKA ZULU The classic of African history – a biography of Shaka Zulu, founder of the Zulu nation, born leader and brilliant general. This remarkable Zulu king was a contemporary of Napoleon, and his achievements rivalled the Emperor’s. For, in the space of twelve years, he organized an immense army of skilled and disciplined warriors, conquering and pacifying a territory larger than Europe. E. A. Ritter grew up with the Zulus, earning their respect and accumulating a rich store of material during his long association with them. Shaka’s life and deeds had been handed down by word of mouth from generation to genera- tion, and they are here evoked with a sense of drama and an eye for detail. 411 pages Paperback In good preloved condition with modest colour change to pages. A fascinating book.
