Gibson, J.Y.

The Story of the Zulus. With 11 Illustrations.

London, New York, Bombay and Calcutta, Longmans, Green and Co., 1991. 15.5 cm x 23 cm. Frontispiece, VII, 338 pages. Hardcover [publisher’s original green cloth] with gilt lettering on spine and front board. Blind double-ruling to front board. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Occasional foxing. Interior otherwise unmarked and bright. Binding firm and strong.

The book does not have a table of contents, but it does come with an unusually full index and a ‘genealogy’ of the Zulu royal house.

The majority of the work concerns the struggles in power, politics and war in eastern Southern Africa during the nineteenth century, concentrating particularly on the arrival of the British in the region and its dealings and collisions with the Zulu nation as tensions flared between Boers, British and Zulus.
