By tracing the long and turbulent history of the Zulus from other appearance in South Africa and the establishment of Zululand, The Zulus at Warfare is an important and readable addition to the popular subject matter area.

They then became patients of their own success in that their defeat of the Boers in 1877 and 1878 in the Sekhukhuni Warfare prompted the well-documented United kingdom intervention.

The tiny known consequences of the section of Zululand, the Boer Warfare, and the 1906 Zulu Rebellion are examined in fascinating detail. An added attraction for listeners is that this long-awaited history is written not merely by a leading expert but also, because of the coauthor's contribution, from the Zulu perspective using much completely fresh materials.
