About the Osprey Zulu War 1879 Twilight of a warrior nation - Campaign #14
Description
In the late 1870s the British Imperial administration in the Cape colony began to view the Zulu kingdom as a challenge to their authority. To contain this perceived threat they engineered a war. The early campaigns went terribly wrong, with the decisive Zulu victory at Isandlwana.
Ultimately however, the British won the war. The Zulus, primarily reliant on their skill with the stabbing spear, had no real defence or retaliation against the massed firepower if professional British soldiers.
The authors examine the British-Zulu war and its two key battles, Isandlwana and Khambula, with excellent black and white photographs accompanying the clear and detailed text.
