About this title

Synopsis

Like Wolves On The Fold

Review

Military History, December 2006 Although the legendary defense of Rorke s Drift has certainly been documented before, Snook s second book is a brilliant historical achievement. From the beginning his narrative leaps from each page to the next, making the reader feel as if he is sometimes standing alongside Lieutenants John Chard and Gonville Bromhead. Even so, when objectively read, the book clearly gives equal recognition to the martial courage of the defending British soldiers and attacking Zulu warriors alike Like Wolves on the Fold is a highly recommended addition to the Zulu War enthusiast s library. It is a very well documented and outstandingly written saga of what may well be considered a Thermopylae of the British Army. Military History Online"I really enjoyed this book ... Very few battles have the desperation, excitement and intensity of Rorke's Drift and this book does the battle justice. I highly recommend this book." "
