A unique story which goes beyond fiction to show us the events and protagonists of one of the most violent moments of the 19th century in colonial Africa, an episode which inspired Henry Rider Haggard to write King Solomon’s Mines. This is the savage and ferocious story of how British colonialism, personified by Cecil Rhodes, fought for control of the Matabele kingdom, a territory rich in gold and precious stones, convinced that this is where the mythical riches of the third and final king of all Israel would be found. The reader will witness the birth of the Matabele kingdom founded by Mzilikazi, the strict military life of these people, the succession of son Lobengula to the kingdom, and his fierce resistance in leading his people against the weight of British colonialism.
