The Zulus And The British Frontiers (1879)

by Thomas J. Lucas

Book Overview

""The Zulus and the British Frontiers"" is a historical account of the conflict between the Zulu people and the British Empire in the late 19th century. Written by Thomas J. Lucas in 1879, the book provides a detailed analysis of the events leading up to the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, as well as the military strategies employed by both sides during the conflict. Lucas draws on a wide range of primary sources, including official government reports, letters, and diaries, to provide a comprehensive overview of the conflict. He also provides insights into the cultural differences between the Zulu people and the British, and how these differences contributed to the outbreak of war. Throughout the book, Lucas describes key battles and military engagements, including the Battle of Isandlwana and the Battle of Rorke's Drift. He also explores the political and economic factors that drove the conflict, such as the desire for land and resources, and the tensions between colonial powers in southern Africa. Overall, ""The Zulus and the British Frontiers"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of southern Africa, colonialism, and military history. It provides a detailed and nuanced account of one of the most significant conflicts in the region's history, and sheds light on the complex interactions between different cultures and political systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
