Molver helps readers by providing images, names, and clans of historical figures at the very beginning of both graphic novels.

Filled with colourful characters, dramatic battles like Isandhlwana and Rorke's Drift, and an inexorable narrative momentum, this unsurpassed history details the sixty-year existence of the world's mightiest African empire,from its brutal formation and zenith under the military genius Shaka (1787-1828), through its inevitable collision with white expansionism, to its dissolution under Cetshwayo in the Zulu War of 1879. Ritter has put Shaka's reign in its proper prospective, using 1st hand accounts of people that lived during his life. Proceed with caution: not current or reliable history; also a "white" view of Shaka, tapping into black oral narratives (for the current scoop, see Caroline Hamliton, Terrific Majesty). While this book satisfies a purist’s hunger for detail, it never fails to be informative and interesting for the more casual reader.

Built in Philadelphia, one of the leading cities for penal reform, Eastern ultimately defied national norms and was the subject of intense international criticism. He seeks to evaluate not just Shaka’s nation-building but what followed, most especially the Anglo-Zulu war that culminated in the destruction of the Zulu military at Isandhlwana.Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centers that host Etsy.
