Book Reviews of The Washing Of The Spears: The Rise And Fall Of The Zulu Nation
Book Review: A definitive review of the Zulu nation
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this book very much. It is extremely detailed and at the same time very lively to read. The detailed account of the Isandhlwana and Rorke's Drift battles were minute by minute accounting of soldiers, zulus, and the battle itself. The author does not judge either side, and after reading you are equally impressed with both the Zulu and English. No other book I have read goes into this much detail and this enjoybale to read.
