The Zulu War 1879

This concise volume covers the war and explains the years of internecine strife that followed, until the British finally annexed Zululand as a colonial possession.

The Zulu War of 1879 remains one of the best known British colonial wars and included two battles whose names reverberate through history.

At Isandlwana the Zulus inflicted a crushing defeat on the British; the British defence at Rorke's Drift followed and re-established British power. Yet as this book shows, there was more to the war than this. Six months of brutal fighting followed, until the Zulu kingdom was broken up, its king imprisoned and the whole structure of the Zulu state destroyed.

This concise volume covers the war and explains the years of internecine strife that followed, until the British finally annexed Zululand as a colonial possession.
