The storm of Zulu and colonial expansion beat upon the African continent, threatening to engulf the local tribal kingdoms. And while this storm could not be prevented, one man ensured that the Phalaborwa region of southern Africa would resist takeover. Equal parts biographical fiction, coming-of-age story, and cultural history, The King History Forgot is a cunningly crafted look at the remarkable reign of Makikele—sorcerer king of copper-rich Phalaborwa.
