Summary "The Story of the Zulu Campaign" by Waller Ashe and Edmund Verney Wyatt Edgell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the events and military strategies surrounding the Zulu War in South Africa, focusing particularly on the interactions between the British forces and the Zulu kingdom under King Cetywayo. The authors, both experienced military personnel, aim to provide a detailed narrative of the campaign, highlighting key battles, leaders, and the socio-political context of the conflict. The opening of the narrative establishes a foundation for understanding the complex history of the Zulu people and their kings, particularly focusing on figures like Chaka and Cetywayo. It outlines the socio-political landscape leading up to the Zulu War, detailing the various tribes, militaristic innovations, and the initial diplomatic engagements with the British. The authors emphasize the nuances of cultural interactions and misunderstandings between the Zulus and Europeans, setting the stage for the mounting tensions that would eventually lead to war. This introduction promises an exploration of not only military history but also the human elements that influenced this critical period in South Africa's past.
