In 1879, British forces underestimated the Zulu in the Anglo-Zulu War, suffering a crushing defeat at Isandlwana. In The Anatomy of the Zulu Army, Ian Knight reveals how Shaka’s reforms transformed tribal warriors into a disciplined, formidable impi. Detailing training, tactics, weapons, and strategy—and placing the army within Zulu society—Knight illuminates the organisation and martial skill that allowed this remarkable force to challenge and defeat a professional European army.
