The Zulu Kings and their Armies

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.

About the author

Diane Canwell has written widely on historical subjects, in particular on military and aviation history, and has long been fascinated by the history of Norfolk and its military heritage. Among her many books are 'The RAF Air Sea Rescue Service 1918-1986', 'The Battle of Jutland' and 'Air War Malta'.

Summary

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.
