ZULU WAR Then and Now
£8.99
Ian Knight and Ian Castle did a great deal of background research for this well-written documentation of this famous series of battles – the morning’s rout at Isandlwana (filmed as “Zulu Dawn”, wonderful resistance at Rorke’s Drift (filmed as “Zulu”) for which more Victoria Crosses were awarded than for any other military campaign and the final victory at Ulundi.
Description
The Zulu War Then and Now was a departure from the normal time scale covered by After the Battle and enabled a completely fresh approach to be given to one of the most widely known military campaigns of the Victorian era.
This was the first time that the battlefields of this classic conflict were presented through After the Battle’s familiar ‘then and now’ photographic theme ( In this tile it would be fair to say that their are many more “Then” images than “Now” ones).
Many graphic eyewitness accounts from both sides convey exactly what it was like to give battle in the 1870s. Additional chapters cover what remains to be seen today, both on the battlefields and in museums; the lonely and sometimes unmarked and forgotten graves of the participants; the British forts and their ruins, plus accounts of those film productions that have since been made of the 1879 war.
