Summary: This book attempts to portray Shaka, the founder of the Zulu nation, as the Zulus saw him, particularly at the turn of the last century. By writing a biography rather than a general history it has been possible to incorporate the established traditions of the Zulus which the older generations described in the vivid and dramatic style peculiar to their nation.
