The book falls into three sections, namely Historical, Ethnographical and Zulu History.’ The last section is the Zulu view of Zulu history. Very light age-toning to end papers. Light foxing to page edges. Edge-wear with small creasing and small nicks to top edge of dust jacket. There is a 2cm tear to lower spine edge. Some light foxing to the covers as well as the verso.
