Jonathan Ball Publishing, 2017. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. Firmly bound, unmarked pages, age toned, slight edgewear to covers. In this riveting new book, John Laband, pre-eminent historian of the Zulu Kingdom, tackles some of the questions that swirl around the assassination in 1828 of King Shaka, the celebrated founder of the Zulu Kingdom and war leader of legendary brilliance: Why did prominent members of the royal house conspire to kill him? Just how significant a part did the white hunter-traders settled at Port Natal play in their royal patron’s downfall? Why were Shaka’s relations with the British Cape Colony key to his survival? And why did the powerful army he had created acquiesce so tamely in the usurpation of the throne by Dingane, his half-brother and assassin? 226 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

The Collins Press, 2016. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, small nick to edge of p.245 slight wear to cover edges. The remains of over 70 Round Towers survive in Ireland, widely distributed throughout the island. They represent the only form of architecture which is unique to Ireland. Many of those that remain are in association with surviving monastic settlements and are sited in some of the most beautiful and historic areas of the country. Little work has been published on the subject before now. This fully-illustrated study views them as an integral unit of an often now-vanished ecclesiastical complex, outlining their architectural design and construction, their function, their landscape setting and the uniqueness of each round tower site. For over two hundred years there has been debate as to the origin of the Round Tower.  248 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Architecture; ISBN/EAN: 9781848892644.
