Reviews
"An exciting and detailed review of Zulu history, important, interesting and comprehensive." --Dr. David Payne, The Anglo Zulu Research Society "Just when you think everything has been written on the subject, up pops Adrian Greaves with his characteristically fresh approach and intriguing revelations. Exciting, cleverly detailed and highly readable." --The Victoria Cross Society "Adrian Greaves does not flinch from controversy and his thoughtful conclusions present much to reflect upon . . . essential reading." --Professor John Laband "A wonderfully vigorous account that puts us in the thick of the action. A masterful and sound work." --David Charles, manager, The Kingdom, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa "A sound work and interesting to read. Very well researched." --Ian Knight, author The Zulu War, Then and Now

Synopsis
A compelling, authoritative, and accessible history of the Zulu Nation in South Africa. 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 addition to this popular subject area. It describes the violent rise of King Shaka and his colourful successors, under whose leadership the warrior nation built a fearsome fighting reputation without equal among the native tribes of South Africa. Author and Anglo-Zulu war expert Adrian Greaves supplements the historical narrative with an examination of the tactics and weapons employed during the numerous intertribal battles over this period. The text goes on to chronicle the Sekunini War of 1877 and 1878, in which the Zulus would defeat the Boers and prompt the well-documented British intervention. Initially the might of the British Empire was humbled as never before by the shocking Zulu victory at Isandlwana, but the 1879 war ended with the brutal crushing of the Zulu Nation. However, as 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 analysed in fascinating detail. An added merit of this long-awaited history is written not just by a leading authority but, thanks to the coauthor's contribution, from the Zulu perspective using completely fresh material, making this unique among most popular histories. This paperback edition also features a new introduction from Greaves., 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.
