Rope of Sand. The Rise and Fall of the Zulu Kingdom in the Nineteenth Century.

Jonathan Ball. Johannesburg 1995 1st edition. 517pp illustrated softcover 8vo. 0.8kg. A Fine unread copy. ISBN: 9781868420407 An account of the Zulu Kingdom from the 19thC to its destruction in the latter part of that century. Once one of the most powerful states in Africa in its 60 years of independent existence it weathered rebellions by discontented subjects and ambitious princes, intrusions by traders, missionaries, settlers, and a determined invasion by the Afrikaner voortrekkers. It took the British at the height of their imperial power six months with a full military campaign to bring the kingdom down. Thereafter Zululand was broken up, consigned to civil war, annexed piecemeal, and its land given over to white farmers in a saga of humiliation and loss.
