WASHING OF THE SPEARS, Morris 1966. Rise & Fall of the Zulu Nation. Shaka - 1879
THE WASHING OF THE SPEARS A HISTORY OF THE RISE OF THE ZULU NATION UNDER SHAKA AND ITS FALL IN THE ZULU WAR OF 1879 DONALD R. MORRIS JONATHAN CAPE: LONDON 1966 1st edition. 23 x 16 cm. (9¼ x 6¼), 655 pp. HB/DJ The definitive account of a bloody and tragic event: the rise of the Zulu nation under the great ruler Shaka, and its fall under Cetshwayo in the Zulu War of 1879. For over a century after the European landing at Cape Town in the seventeenth century, the Boers advanced unopposed into the vast interior of Africa, encountering only scattered bands of Hottentots and Bushmen. They met, fought and defeated Bantu tribes in the Kaffir Wars, but it was not until 1824 that Europeans came face to face with the expanding power of the Zulus—then the most formidable nation in black Africa.
