Read it! Great book!
Anyone ever notice how the Germans in GLADIATOR sound so much like the Zulus in ZULU?
May I recommend as additional reading a book called Against These Three-A Bio of Paul Kruger, Cecil Rhodes & Lobengula by Stuart Cloete http://www.amazon.com/Against-Three-A-Kruger-Rhodes-Lobengula/dp/B0017DSLLO
