"To my mind this is an important book for anyone with an interest in the Anglo-Zulu war and certainly a must for the serious student of military history. I thoroughly enjoyed the book as it is written in an easy, flowing style which grips the reader's attention immediately. The prologue by Dr. David Payne is especially worth a read."
Excellent. 5/5

The purpose of this book is to give the reader a perceptive overview of the causes and battles of the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War which commenced with the British defeat at Isandlwana and the defence of Rorke’s Drift. For twenty-five years the author, a close friend of David Rattray, regularly visited the numerous battlefields of Zululand, where he worked as an accredited guide and guest speaker, escorting over 1,000 UK visitors and corporate groups around the far-flung and fascinating battlefields of Zululand.

This book’s maps and illuminating observations are taken from the author’s personal on-site lecture maps and notes he used across the battlefields. The maps include many little -known.. Read more

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.
