Like Lions they Fought: the Zulu War and the Last Black Empire in Africa
New York: The Free Press, 1988 Hardback, first edition, first printing, very good condition, in a very good dust-jacket, publisher's original dark green clothboards with gilt blocking to spine, 244 pages including index, b/w photo and line illustrations----------------. "In this beautifully written and riveting account, the author examines this epic colonial war for the first time as it was experienced by the Zulus. Drawing on both new and previously overlooked accounts from the African warriors as well as on new British sources, he not only magnificently recreates the combat, but vividly unravels the human and political story of both sides in a land that later became apartheid South Africa. The Zulus, misconceived by Victorian England as 'celibate manslaying gladiators,' become fully realized here as members of a complex, fascinating civilization. Led by their king, Cetshwayo, these 50,000 warriors were determined to preserve their independence against the British. Though their efforts would ultimately end in tragedy, they dealt the British their most shocking defeat, and Zulu resistance to the colonists won them an unforgettable place in legend and history."
