The battle of Rorke's Drift is established in history as one of
Britain's most incredible actions where approximately 155 defenders
held off a Zulu force of over 4,000 warriors, in a savage, bloody
conflict with no quarter given by either side. The battle led to a
display of incredible fortitude, courage and tenacity resulting in
mutual respect between British red coat and Zulu warrior. Using a
vast array of primary accounts, including lesser known, and
previously unpublished examples, the author describes the battle in
vivid detail. The actions of each of the 11 Victoria Cross
recipients are looked at in detail, together with those men who
were awarded the DCM. Illustrated with previously unpublished
artwork, 'Rorke's Drift-A New Perspective' is a gripping account,
which questions what is commonly believed to be the true
interpretation of the hospital fighting. A truly compelling read,
packed with numerous footnotes and sources, appealing to both the
casual reader and the serious historian.
