Reader comments
This book is very informative and details many of the wars that impacted world history. What impressed me most was the Zulu War. The Zulu people were really brave. They sacrificed their lives in order to maintain national unity and territorial integrity, which is admirable. But I hate those colonists. They are greedy and cruel, and they have brought huge disasters to other countries and people. All in all, this is a book worth reading.
