Reviews for Rorke's Drift

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is #41 in Osprey's Campaign Series. The background is adequate, there are half-a-dozen maps and schematics, and there are a lot of photographs. The reader also gets a short account of the battle of Isandlwhana, and a chronology of the battle with hints for the wargamer. I'd call it a good book, within its design.
