On 22 January 1879, British forces in Zululand suffered a shocking
and unimaginable defeat at the hands of the Zulus resulting in over
1300 dead, including more than 800 regular British soldiers. But
the Zulu victory came at a cost, and their losses were very heavy
too. Yet, surprisingly, scattered in archives, museums, and private
collections around the world, sits many first-hand accounts from
those who were there. Inaccessible to most, these primary sources
are vital to our understanding of the battle and how it unfolded,
and they shed important light on the experiences of those who were
there on that fateful day. British soldiers, those from the
colonial forces, civilians, and those Zulu warriors who attacked
the camp, all left detailed descriptions of the battle. By bringing
these sources together, this book-the largest collection of primary
accounts ever gathered on the battle - allows the reader to view
all sources under one roof, providing a better understanding of the
battle, how it played out, and what those involved witnessed on
that monumental day in both British and Zulu history.
