The battle of Isandlwana was the single most destructive incident in the 150 year history of the British colonization of South Africa. In one bloody day, over 800 British troops, 500 of their allies, and at least 2,000 Zulus were killed. In Zulu Rising, Ian Knight gives full weight to the Zulu experience and explores the reality of the fighting through the eyes of men who took part on both sides. Includes 16 pages of black and white photographs.
It is December 1878 and war looms on the horizon in South Africa.
