Adrian Greaves uses his exceptional knowledge of the Anglo-Zulu War
to look beyond the two best known battles of Isandlwana and the
iconic action at Rorkes Drift to other fiercely fought battles. He
covers little recorded engagements and battles such as Nyezane
which was fought on the same day as the slaughter of Imperial
troops at Isandlwana but has been eclipsed by it. Like the battles
at Hlobane and Gingindhlovu. The death of the Prince Imperial,
which caused shock waves round Europe and had huge repercussions
for those involved, is examined in detail. The defeat of the Zulu
Army at Ulundi was the culmination of the war and the author
reveals new and shocking details about this battle. There is a hint
of ominous events to come in the slaughter of Colonel Austruthers
Redcoat column by Boers as they marched from Ulundi to Pretoria.
This was the opening salvo of the First Boer War. This hugely
informative book will fascinate fans of this period of our Imperial
history.
