About this ebook

The heroic defence of the mission station at Rorke's Drift became the epic action of the Anglo-Zulu War. A small garrison defended this valuable border-post for ten hours and in the process won the northern sector at Ntcombe Drift, Hlobane and Khambula. Essential reading for those who wish to learn the facts rather than the myths of this legendary stand.

    This 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.
