This book looks beyond the ill-fated events of Isandlwana to truly explore the depths of who Lord Chelmsford actually was. History has often overlooked his successful career in favor of highlighting the massive blunder that would forever be associated with him. I always enjoy books that attempt to explore the whole picture of a person, place, or event.

This is a second book which follows up with more interviews and firsthand accounts of the battle. The story concerns a small force of British soldiers resisting the attacks by a superior force of Zulu warriors. The heroism displayed is inspirational. A good book.

First-hand accounts are the best way to get a sense of place. The farther you go back in history, the more important that becomes, and the harder it becomes for a historian to find those voices. This book pulls it off, presenting accounts with flaws and all. Voices of the past can be wrong or outdated, but they're still worth hearing.
