In Zululand with the British Army. Eyewitness from disaster to
victory. Very few professional writers are fortunate enough to be
'on the spot' when momentous events occur. Most often we are left
with accounts by amateurs. Charles Norris-Newman is different. He
accompanied Lord Chelmsfords expeditionary force into Zululand as a
special correspondent and, but for his decision to attach himself
to the staff would have been fatefully present at the slaughter
that was Isandlwhana. In the event he had the chilling distinction
of being able to describe the British Camp both before and
immediately after the battle. Norris-Newman remained with the Army
through most of the remainder of war and left us in his writing an
essential, full and immediate view of the Zulu War of 1879 that is
without parallel.
