Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Zulus were a fiercely independent and extremely brave warrior race. When the might of the British army was defeated by this indigenous foe at Isandlwana in 1879, it sent shock waves throughout the Empire-1300 British troops and their African allies were killed. In the aftermath, Zulu reserves mounted a raid on a British border post at Rorke's Drift, which was held by just 145 men. After ten hours of ferocious fighting the Zulus were driven away. Eventually superior weaponry carried the day for the British. Invading Zululand, the British took the capital of Ulundi and 5,000 British defeated 20,000 Zulus. King Cetewayo was captured and the war was over.
