Description
Zulu: A Study in Imperial Conflict The Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 remains one of the most contentious British imperial conflicts of the nineteenth century. This period of history is marked by deception, dishonour, incompetence and dereliction of duty, particularly during Lord Chelmsford's invasion of Zululand without government knowledge. New research from archives in Britain and South Africa sheds light on this complex conflict, revealing startling new conclusions about the war's causes and consequences. This meticulously detailed account provides a fully rounded understanding of the dismal conflict, drawing on fresh insights to challenge prevailing narratives. Saul David, Professor of War Studies at the University of Buckingham, brings his expertise to bear on this pivotal moment in history, producing a compelling and authoritative study that is both fascinating and thought-provoking.
