Summary

This book tells the story of the destruction of the material strength and political independence of an African society a hundred years ago. Contemporary records of such events, usually dominated by those who initiated the conquest, show in this instance conflicting accounts by supporters of Cetshwayo's independent kingdom and by colonial officials influenced by the developing demands of capitalism. The author has tried to explain these contradictory interpretations of events and to construct a narrative which moves from the homesteads of the Zulu kingdom to colonial Natal and the Cape to Victorian London and back to the battlefields of Zululand.
