A History of the Zulu Rebellion 1906

This 1913 work by an expert on Zulu customs and history describes the 1906 revolt in Natal against British rule.

Written by James Stuart (1868–1942), an expert on Zulu customs and history, this 1913 work focuses on the 1906 revolt in Natal against British rule. The book also covers the administration of the Zulu territories and goes on to investigate what became of the Zulu rebellion after its defeat.After many years of relatively peaceful coexistence, a dispute over taxation in 1906 stirred thousands of Zulus into bloody revolt against the British in Natal. Following the rebellion's defeat, James Stuart (1868–1942), an expert on Zulu customs and history, was commissioned to write the official history of military operations. It later became a private project of much broader scope. Providing a thoroughly researched account of the rebellion, Stuart wrote using the full breadth of his knowledge of Africa, drawing on the contacts and materials that became available to him during his time as an intelligence officer in the Natal Field Artillery. First published in 1913, the work also covers the administration of the Zulu territories and goes on to investigate the aftermath of the rebellion, including the arrest and imprisonment of the Zulu king, Dinuzulu.
