Book Reviews of The Zulus (Elite)
Book Review: Warrior Race- the Zulus confront the British Empire
Summary: 5 Stars
This book covers an amazing people, the Zulus, who defeated a British Army at a time when the Empire was all-powerful. The Zulus did so with superior tactics, though their weapons had not changed and remained primitive. Nevertheless the stabbing spear of the Zulus accounted for the lives of many British soldiers. There are also good accounts of battles such as Isdhlawana and of Rorke's Drift.The author obviously has written a sympathetic account of the Zulus and their are shown as a militarly organized people, not a band of savages as Africans were often portrayed in the West. The illustrations are beautiful and the Zulus come out as a majestic people. It is clear that this book is written by someone who knows a lot about the subject.
