Description

Witnesses at Isandlwana 22 January 1879 brings together a comprehensive collection of firsthand testimonies from British soldiers, colonial forces, civilians and Zulu warriors who were present during the pivotal clash that reshaped history on 22 January 1879.

The battle, which resulted in over 1300 deaths, including more than 800 regular British soldiers, is one of the most significant defeats suffered by the British in Africa. Yet, despite its importance, many first-hand accounts from those who were there remain inaccessible to most, until now.

This book provides a unique opportunity for readers to view all these primary sources under one roof, shedding important light on the experiences of those who witnessed the battle and offering a better understanding of how it unfolded.
