Amazulu by Walton Golightly
Set on the southeast coast of southern Africa in the early 1800s, Walton Golightly's magnificent historical epic tells the story of Shaka, the father of the Zulu nation. An illegitimate and bullied child, Shaka shrugged off his troubled past to become the ruler of one of Africa's mightiest empires. Combining revolutionary military tactics with a frightening thirst for revenge, Shaka was able to conquer great swathes of southern Africa for the Zulu people, creating an empire as powerful and revered as Napoleon's France and Caesar's Rome. Brimful of intrigue, heroism, pageantry, nobility, treachery and some of the most magnificent battle scenes one could hope for, "AmaZulu" sweeps across the burned hills of South East Africa's interior to tell the story of Shaka's irresistible rise to power. "AmaZulu" is the first in a trilogy that tracks the birth and growth of the Zulu empire to its ultimate clash with the British empire in 1879
Born in 1966, Walton Golightly is a freelance writer from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal - on the doorstep of what used to be the Zulu Kingdom. He's a film buff with a passion for Spaghetti Westerns, '70s action movies and the films of Jean Luc Goddard. AmaZulu is his first novel. He shares his life with a few thousand books and two dogs. Occasionally the dogs let him sleep on the bed
