Sent to kill: The shocking true story behind a forgotten African colonial war

By Graham Fysh

WHAT COLONIALISM WAS REALLY LIKE

A 19th Century colonial occupation forces a thousand-year-old African kingdom to fight for its survival.

IN A RIVETING TRUE STORY, Sent to kill describes how British settlers sought to take control of the Southern African territory of Quthing (today part of Lesotho), ruled by King Moorosi, leader of the Baphuthi people, in the way they had already done in territories to the south.

It tells, too, how the astute Moorosi was more than a match for his would-be rulers.
