John Laband

The history of the Zulu kingdom in the nineteenth century continues to be John Laband’s primary field of research, but his research, writing and teaching interests extend to all other areas of Africa, especially when they fall within the scope of war and society studies.  Recent publications include the Historical Dictionary of the Zulu Wars (2009), Kingdom in Crisis: The Zulu Response to the British Invasion of 1879 (2007), and The Transvaal Rebellion: The First Boer War 1880-1881, (2005).
