In this episode on the Zulu nation, we discuss Cetshwayo's violent march to the Zulu throne, his cozying up to the British as a bulwark against the Boers, and then the inexplicable events that thrust his people into a war with England. As the English columns invade Zululand, a story of victory and defeat unfolds, with heroism and tragedy on both sides of the conflict.
