It is December 1878, and war looms on the horizon in South Africa. British high commissioner Sir Henry Bartle-Frere seeks to dismantle the powerful neighboring kingdom of the Zulus and uses an incursion along the disputed border as his justification for war. He issues an impossible ultimatum to the Zulu king, Cetshwayo, demanding he disband his armies and pay massive reparations. With a heavy heart, the king prepares his nation for war against their former allies.

A Brilliant piece of work!! One of the most detailed histories of the Anglo-Zulu Conflicts that I have even come across. James Mace is to be complemented as is Jonthan Waters for his presentation.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 151
The Great Boer War (1899-1902) - more properly the Great Anglo-Boer War - was one of the last romantic wars, pitting a sturdy, stubborn pioneer people fighting to establish the independence of their tiny nation against the British Empire at its peak of power and self-confidence. It was fought in the barren vastness of the South African veldt, and it produced in almost equal measure extraordinary feats of personal heroism, unbelievable examples of folly and stupidity, and many incidents of humor and tragedy.

Ezekiel "Easy" Porterhouse Rawlins is an unlicensed private investigator turned hard-boiled detective always willing to do what it takes to get things done in the racially charged, dark underbelly of Los Angeles. But when Easy is approached by a shell-shocked Vietnam War veteran - a young White man who claims to have gotten into a fight protecting a White woman from a Black man - he knows he shouldn't take the case.

I think John Boehner has given us a fair and honest look at how Politics in Washington used to run, and maybe how it should still be run. I enjoyed his honest opinions about people and events during his years in Washington. I would highly recommend this book!

In the aftermath of the Battles of Khambula and Gingindlovu, a lull fell over the war-torn Zulu Kingdom. Though British forces under Lord Chelmsford emerged victorious during both encounters, earlier defeats, casualties, and supply shortages required them to withdraw back into Natal. Now with waves of long-awaited reinforcements arriving, Chelmsford prepares to launch a second invasion of Zululand. Death and destruction have taken their toll on the Zulu people. Thousands of families mourn for their loved ones, while refugees flee from the devastation of the border regions.

To a student of Zulu History this is a must read/hear piece. James Mace through Jonathan Waters brings the Majesty and the Pain of the Anglo-Zulu War to life. A well written and well performed piece of Historical Fiction. I salute the author and the narrator for bringing this period to life for me. Well Done!

In January 1879, three columns of British soldiers under the command of Lord Chelmsford, commenced the invasion of the Zulu Kingdom. The southern No. 1 Column led by Colonel Charles Pearson advances on the old mission station at Eshowe. Their intent is to establish a fort and supply depot from which to support the centre No. 3 Column’s advance on the Zulu royal kraal at Ulundi. As the vast column of British soldiers and their African allies slogs its way across the coastal hills, the incessant rain and threat of typhoid promise to be as fearful a nemesis as the lurking armies of Zulu warriors.

James Mace and Jonathan Waters are to be commended for bringing to life the little know yet important story of the Siege at Eshowe and the Battle of GIN-Gin-I-Love-You!! The Historical Detail provided as well as the Fictional Creativity of the Author makes the sacrifice of both the British and the Zulu during this forgotten part of history worth remembering! I strongly recommend this piece to anyone interested in the history of Southern Africa!

In late January 1879, following news of the terrible disaster to befall British forces at Isandlwana, Colonel Henry Evelyn Wood, commanding officer of the northern No. 4 Column, withdraws his forces to Khambula, near the Natal and Transvaal borders. Adding to their woes, the southern No. 1 Column finds itself trapped under siege at the abandoned mission station of Eshowe. The general officer commanding, Lord Chelmsford, orders Wood to continue harassing the Zulus, keeping the pressure off their central and southern forces while he rallies reinforcements to relieve Eshowe.

For almost 50 years I have researched and studied the rise and fall of the Zulu Empire from the time of Shaka to the rule of Ceteswayo and this series is the most complete and detailed depiction of the Zulu Conflict I have ever come across. Both compelling and insightful as well as fair and balanced. James Mace is to be commended for his blending of historical fact with a brilliant use of fictional creativity. If you have any interest in the Anglo-Zulu War you will enjoy these works immensely!!
