Title: Myth of Iron
First published: February 2006
Description: Over the decades we have heard a great deal about Shaka, the famous - or infamous - of Zulu leaders. It may come as a surprise, therefore, that we do not know when he was born, nor what he looked like, nor precisely when or why he was assassinated. This book lays out the available evidence - mainly hitherto under-utilised Zulu oral testimonies.
