Myth of Iron: Shaka in History is the first book-length scholarly study of Shaka to be published. It lays out, as far as possible, all the available evidencemainly hitherto underutilized Zulu oral testimonies, supported by other documentary sourcesand decides, item by item, legend by legend, what exactly is known about Shakas reign.
