“The Kings are seen largely through the eyes of the extraordinary collection of white men who visited their kraals. How far the intrigues of these white adventurers influenced the fate of the Zulu Kings has never before been revealed. Until now their activities have been regarded as relatively innocent. By drawing on significant, unpublished material, Brian Roberts shows this to be far from the truth. Zulu history is thus presented in a completely new light.

This is a saga of the Zulu empire at its height–its bizarre customs, its bloodthirsty battles, its colourful rituals and, above all, its larger-than-life personalities.”
