Showing results for "Sila" in History

In a refreshing departure from traditional third-person biographies, this captivating account unfolds in the first person as the reflections of a retired George Washington. As he looks back on his youth, he shares insights into his family history, education, and early military experiences, culminating at the age of 26 when he held the rank of colonel. While the author creatively fills in certain details, he remains largely faithful to the historical essence and spirit of Washington himself. The result is a compelling narrative that entertains while it enlightens. - Summary by Larry Wilson

John Laband examines the reigns of the eight Zulu kings from 1816 to the present. Starting with King Shaka, the renowned founder of the Zulu kingdom, he charts the lives of the kings Dingane, Mpande, Cetshwayo, Dinuzulu, Solomon and Cyprian, to today’s King Goodwill Zwelithini. In the course of this investigation, Laband places the Zulu monarchy in the context of African kingship and tracks and analyses the trajectory of the Zulu kings from independent and powerful precolonial African rulers to largely powerless traditionalist figures in post-apartheid South Africa.

In this riveting new book, John Laband, pre-eminent historian of the Zulu Kingdom, tackles some of the questions that swirl around the assassination in 1828 of King Shaka, the celebrated founder of the Zulu Kingdom and war leader of legendary brilliance. In his search for answers, Laband turns to the Zulu voice heard through recorded oral testimony and praise-poems, and to the written accounts and reminiscences of the Port Natal trader-hunters and the despatches of Cape officials.
