This ebook portays the rise to power of this founder of the Zulu nation which is now part of the Republic of South Africa in the early nineteenth century. The reader sees the man introduce huge changes to such entrenched things as customs of the nationals. He innovates in the tactics of war as well. He also founds a standing army, something which was unknown in the subcontinent at the time. The reader sees him in battle as well. Shaka betrays a deep phobia for aging and death. Towards the end of his reign he displays great affectation from the deaths of his mother and his grandmother. These events lead him into taking irrational decisions including sending the army into a powerful Mozambique where the troops are ravaged by disease and a stalemate on the battlefield. His generals plot his elimination while still on that campaign. His two top generals come back from there to carry out the plot, which mission they accomplish successfully.
This book helps the reader to understand African values and understand how Kwa Zulu Natal came to be what it is today. Above all it promotes understanding between the white and black races, which came into contact for the first time in those days.
