The South African first edition, published in Durban by the Riverside Press, was co-published with the British first edition. It is, however, a lot more uncommon than the British edition by Firebird Books.
'With the important changes taking place in South Africa, past events seem to have cast a shadow over recent upheavals. In this book, Ian Knight provides both an historical background to the origins of contemporary Southern Africa, and an exciting military account of the region's main black empires.
In looking at the lives and military campaigns of four great warriors, Ian Knight paints a fascinating picture of a massive tribal power struggle in the days before European domination of Southern Africa.' - editor's note
