Description
Last Stand at Majuba Hill by John Wilcox
In 1881, General George Pomeroy-Colley is determined to crush a rebellion in Natal. He turns to former army captain Simon Fonthill for reliable information, and the two embark on a covert diplomatic mission. But as their armies clash on the heights of Majuba Hill, Fonthill and his servant Jenkins find themselves at the forefront of the battle.
The outcome hangs in the balance: if Colley's men can hold the summit, they may yet triumph over the enemy. This gripping historical novel brings to life a pivotal moment in South African history, and the bravery and cunning of its characters.
