Produktbeschreibung

Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana, both 1879, are undoubtedly the most famous of Britain's imperial battles, the former the subject of one of the nation's top war movies, Zulu, even if it wasn't actually filmed there. With South Africa becoming a more popular tourist destination, never has there been a better time to visit these iconic battlefields and trace the steps of the red-coated heroes who fought against overwhelming odds. This richly illustrated book features the most thorough and recent examination of the battlefields, showing exactly what happened where and what can be seen.
