Book Synopsis The Assassination of King Shaka by : John Laband
Book excerpt: "John Laband tackles the questions that swirl about the assassination in 1828 of King Shaka, the celebrated founder of the Zulu kingdom ... What was it about the nature of his kingdom that it produced so many intransigent opponents to his rule, including prominent members of the royal house? Why were Shaka's relations with the British Cape Colony apparently key to his survival? And why did the powerful army he had created acquiesce so tamely in the usurpation of the throne by Dingane, his half-brother and assassin?"--Back cover.
