Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Zulu War-by possibly its most authentic historiansMost written histories intend to be accurate, but they often suffer from the bias of perspective, and whilst this history of the Anglo-Zulu War is no exception, it is exceptional in that it is decidedly not a view of the conflict from an Imperial British standpoint. Francis Colenso was the daughter of Bishop Colenso, whose Bishopric included Zululand at the time of the war. She knew the Zulu nation well, had an affection for it and in company with her father was an ardent advocate in its cause. She was well aware of the many shameful calumnies perpetrated against it by the British including the bringing about of the war of 1879 itself. This history, written by an author who was on the spot, was originally published very shortly after the events themselves took place. It provides a very different view, far removed from a story of Imperial glory or folly. Ultimately the traditional Zulu way of life was destroyed by the war and the injustice and tragedy of that is painfully elaborated in these pages. 'Fanny' Colenso had a close personal relationship with Colonel Anthony Durnford, who fell at Isandlwhana and who became one of Lord Chelmsford's scapegoats for the disaster. For the military aspects of her history she called upon the assistance of Durnford's brother, Edward-also a soldier-to provide vital expertise, credibility, accuracy and authority. This is the first and possibly the most important history of the Zulu War and the events that bought it about and is an essential component of any library of the history of South Africa.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - First published in 1880, just a year after the titular conflict took place, this account by Frances Colenso (1849-87) of the 1879 war between British settlers and the Zulu population in South Africa is remarkable in its defence of the Zulu people, a very unusual view for a British writer at this time. Colenso was the daughter of controversial bible scholar John William Colenso, the first Anglican bishop of Natal. This book was intended to support her father's criticism of British policy, but while she credits her father's influence and opinions in shaping her book, Colenso is careful to state that the work is her own. Beginning with the causes of the conflict, which she identifies as an unjust and barbaric British invasion, Colenso describes the Zulu war chronologically to its conclusion. The military details of the war were provided by Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Durnford, a close friend of Colenso's.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. 445 pages plus folded map (complete). Original boards have been re-cased with new end papers. A pleasing copy of this second edition (with additional information) of a most important book. The intent of its publication was to exculpate the fateful Anthony Durnford (who had been killed at Isandlwana) from Shepstone's accusations of incompetence, presumption and culpability for the loss of the battle. Frances Colenso was the daughter of Bishop Colenso - and hero-worshipped and adored Anthony Durnford. Edward Durnford was the younger brother of the fallen soldier. Both had access to insights both immediate and actual from their relationship with Durnford and from those who served during the war. Both were passionate and devoted to the book which laid the causes of the Zulu War quite firmly on the side of the British. The book had a luke-warm reception but has come to be a vital resource and reading for anyone interested in the Zulu War. This RARE copy is benign, agreeably so. The boards have wear, scuffing and handling and storage marks all about. It has been rubbed. They are secure, healthy. The contents are pleasing. They carry their age well. The title page has a previous owner signature (A H English). The page has splashes of foxing. The paper trims have storage marks. The pages are tight, gratifyingly clean and clear, confident, certain, keen and very assured. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.…

Chapman and Hall, Mendelssohn I, pp.355-6; "This work severely criticises the general policy of Sir Bartle Frere towards Zululand and its king, and it is maintained that the idea of the subjugation of the Zulus had occupied the minds of certain British statesmen since the year 1873, while it was well known that a war would be popular in Natal." This copy with bookplate recording its presentation to the Library of the Scottish Conservative Club in 1890 by Sir G[raham] Graham Montgomery, Lord Lieutentant of Kinross-shire.…
