The book War and Politics in Zimbabwe, 1840-1900 by D.N. Beach examines the period of shifting relations between the Shona and the Ndebele, the rise of the Ndebele kingdom, and the establishment of colonial rule in Zimbabwe, focusing on the dynamics leading to the First Chimurenga. Key conflicts included the Ndebele raids on the Shona, the Mfecane and the rise of the Ndebele in the mid-19th century, and the eventual colonial conquest, culminating in the Shona uprising of 1896-1897.
