David Rattray is known to many thousands of enthusiasts for his
emotional and evocative lectures, he also owns a top battlefield-touring
lodge Fugitive Drift, close to Iswandlwana and Rorke's Drift. This is
David Rattray's first publication (his cassettes and videos have sold
thousands) . No one is better qualified to explain the causes of this
strange colonial war when British Imperial might was initially
humiliated in a ghastly slaughter. Pride was somewhat salvaged by the
heroic defense of Rorke's Drift and thereafter the Zulus were doomed.
Today the battlefields are frequently visited and this attractive book
is the perfect companion, being both authoritative, well illustrated and
highly accessible.
