Synopsis

An official overview of the war in Zululand

This concisely written account of the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 offers an essential authoritative foundation from a military perspective for any modern student of the conflict. It, of course,is an original source work, produced three years after the events themselves and benefits from the input of many of the military participants. As a consequence, the activities and involvement of several units and lesser known personalities appear in these pages which will possibly offer new information, even for those students of the period comparatively familiar with its principal engagements.Naturally,the war is considered according to the perspectives of the time and as usual by the victors. Nevertheless, this book is a thorough and dispassionate assessment of the movements and dispositions of the British army on campaign and in battle prepared by expert military authors together with factual descriptions-devoid of opinion or censure- of the outcomes of its actions in each theatre of operations. Contains maps  of principal and minor engagements together with useful diagrams originally prepared at time of first publication.
