Black Heart And White Heart

A Zulu Idyll

More about the book

The Zulu warrior's role at Rorke's Drift highlights the unique military structure of the Zulu nation, where all men served from ages 19 to 40 in a citizen army. Each regiment was distinguished by specific jewelry and headgear, and the warriors were equipped with two types of spears: a throwing spear and a broad-bladed stabbing spear, reminiscent of the Roman Gladius. Their large, color-coded cowhide shields, varying by regiment age, facilitated battlefield recognition for commanders, showcasing the Zulus' strategic organization and combat readiness.
