David Rattray’s Guidebook to the Anglo-Zulu War Battlefields – Adrian Greaves (Editor)

South African born and bred, David Rattrays name is today synonymous with the Anglo-Zulu War. His lecture tours worldwide are hugely popular and Fugitives Drift Lodge, which he and his wife Nicky run, is the mecca for visitors to the battlefields, the best known of which are Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift. To hear him speak of those dramatic events of more than 100 years ago is a hugely memorable and moving experience.

Now for the first time, thanks to this book, his encyclopaedic knowledge is available to a much wider audience. With its magnificent colour artwork, including superb pictures by Jason Askew, detailed maps and lively and informative text, David Rattrays Guidebook to the Anglo-Zulu War Battlefields will be greatly welcomed by both readers at home and visitors to the sites themselves.

Dr Adrian Greaves, who has edited this splendid guide, is not only a long-standing friend of David Rattray but also a leading member of the Anglo-Zulu War Historical Society, which has done so much to promote interest and scholarship in this subject.
