His date of birth, what he looked like, and the circumstances of his assassination remain unknown.Meanwhile the public image, sometimes monstrous, sometimes heroic, juggernauts ontruly a myth of iron that is so intriguing, so dramatic, so archetypal, and sometimes so politically useful that few have subjected it to proper scrutiny.Myth of Iron: Shaka in History is the first booklength scholarly study of Shaka to be published. It lays out, as far as possible, all the available evidencemainly hitherto underutilized Zulu oral testimonies, supported by other documentary sourcesand decides, item by item, legend by legend, what exactly is known about Shakas reign. The picture that emerges in this meticulously researched and absorbing antibiography is very different from the popular narrative.
