"CROSSING THE BUFFALO - THE ZULU WAR OF 1879" BY ADRIAN GREAVES IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, SOFTCOVER

This book is not only a complete history of the Zulus but also an account of the way the British won absolute rule in South Africa. The story is studded with tales of incredible heroism, drama and atrocity on both sides: the Battle of Isandlwana, where the Zulus inflicted on the British the worst defeat a modern army has ever suffered at the hands of men without guns; Rorke's Drift, where a handful of British troops beat off thousands of Zulu warriors and won a record 11 VCs; and Ulundi, where the Zulus were finally crushed in a battle that was to herald some of the most shameful episodes in British colonial history. Comprehensive, vast in scope, and filled with original and up-to-date research, this is a book that is set to replace all standard works on the subject.
