The real story of the Anglo-Zulu war was one of deception, dishonour, incompetence and dereliction of duty by Lord Chelmsford who invaded Zululand without the knowledge of the British Government. But it did not go to plan and there were many political repercussions. Using new material from archives in Britain and South Africa, Saul David blows the lid on this most sordid of imperial wars and comes to a number of startling new conclusions.

A well balanced account of the whole campaign.Highly recommended ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Zulu Wars *by on Reviewed in the United States 9 August 2012* Very well written and informative book. It truly brings the reader to the times and provides keen insight to everything from the politics to the the tactics employed during this period. The included maps are of great benefit for those who are not familiar with the region (as I am not), and the descriptive text helps the reader to visualize the environment the British Army, Native Contingents, and the Zulus operated in.A good read for those with an interest in the history of this region or for those who wish to learn more about this time period and the Zulu wars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is very intense and you could easily loose yourself with all that is going on *by on Reviewed in Canada 4 July 2016* What a story!. Every page held your attention, This book -for me anyway- required my full attention. It is very intense and you could easily loose yourself with all that is going on. After this battle - the British certainly had to change their mindset regarding their opposites--ie: the Zulus. I had seen the movie of Zulu which introduced Michael Caine and I felt it helped me to get a lot more out of the book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/342893425-zulu-the-heroism-and-tragedy-of-the-zulu-war-1879](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/342893425-zulu-the-heroism-and-tragedy-of-the-zulu-war-1879) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
