The Zulu Kings and their Armies, Paperback / softback Book

The Zulu Kings and their Armies Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

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. The rule of each of the five kings is examined in terms of their relationships with the army and how they raised regiments to expand their influence in the region.

All the major battles and campaigns are discussed with reference to the development of the weapons and tactics of the army.

Internal regimental dynamics, their history, customs and rituals are also examined, particularly the social importance of the regiments.
