Shaka Zula
Title: Heart Of A Lion
Shaka the Zulu King
had a mystic about him that
still lives on today.
His brilliant battle tactics were
revolutionary for those days
and his thirst for revenge
frightening. He is one of the
most famous South Africans
ever to have lived.
The study of military history is
very important to the strategies,
objectives, & offenses used in
combat. By studying military
history, the United States Armed
Forces can correct errors & flaws
that existed in previous battle plans.
