  • Product Description

    In the years since the release of the film 'Zulu', the Zulu War of 1879 has become one of the world's most famous military campaigns. One of the most dramatic events of the war was the complete annihilation of the British encampment at Isandlhwana by a Zulu army on January 22, 1879. With interest in the Zulu War at an all-time high, the recent discovery of the complete diaries of a Royal Artillery officer who was the sole survivor of his battery at Isandlhwana is a major find.

    This important diary has been edited with background notes and linking narrative by Adrian Greaves, a leading member of the Anglo-Zulu War Historical Society. A special Foreword has been written by noted Colonial historian Dr. David Rattray.
