Excerpt from In Zululand With the British: Throughout the War of 1879 Tn narrative of my personal experiences in the late Zulu Campaign would be incomplete without a short sketch of the political causes which led up to the outbreak of the war and I shall, therefore, endeavour to lay before the reader, as briefly as possible, a statement of the relations between Zululand and our South African colonies, and more particularly between that country and the Transvaal and Natal, which both lie contiguous to it.

Download In Zululand with the British Army Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
In Zululand with the British Army. Eyewitness from disaster to victory. Very few professional writers are fortunate enough to be 'on the spot' when momentous events occur. Most often we are left with accounts by amateurs. Charles Norris-Newman is different. He accompanied Lord Chelmsfords expeditionary force into Zululand as a special correspondent and, but for his decision to attach himself to the staff would have been fatefully present at the slaughter that was Isandlwhana. In the event he had the chilling distinction of being able to describe the British Camp both before and immediately after the battle. Norris-Newman remained with the Army through most of the remainder of war and left us in his writing an essential, full and immediate view of the Zulu War of 1879 that is without parallel.

Osprey's study of British troops prior to and during the Anglo-Zulu War (1879). On 4 March, 1878 at King William's Town, British Kaffraria, Gen. Sir Arthur Cunnynghame handed over supreme command of the British forces in southern Africa to his successor, Lt. Gen. Sir Frederic Thesiger. The High Commissioner, Sir Henry Bartle Frere, was convinced that one solution to the complex problems which beset the region was to overthrow the last powerful independent black kingdom bordering British possessions – the Zulu kingdom of King Cetshwayo KaMapande. However Cetshwayo had remained on the political defensive. This book descirbes the uniforms and equipment of the forces that Thesiger led across the border to wage war in Zululand.

Download On Campaign with the British Army in the Zulu War of 1879 - the Illustrated Edition Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Charles Norris-Newman was an ex-British officer who served as special correspondent for The London Standard in the Zulu War. He attached himself to Lonsdale's Natal Native Contingent and was with Chelmsford's column when Isandlwana was attacked. His report of the battle was the first by a war correspondent. Norris-Newman also took part in the relief of Eshowe and took an active part in the campaign by riding ahead of the relieving forces to become the first man to enter the fort. 'In Zululand with the British Throughout the War of 1879' was published by W. H. Allen & Co in 1880 and was dedicated to Lord Chelmsford, and it is an essential addition to any Zulu War library.

Download Crossing the Buffalo Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
A new and complete history of Zululand, and its destruction at the hands of the British in 1879. 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. In the early decades of the nineteenth century, Shaka Zulu established a nation in south-east Africa which was to become the most politically sophisticated and militarily powerful black nation in the entire area. Although the Zulus never had any quarrel with their British neighbours, the rulers of the Cape Colony could not conceive of them as anything but a threat. In 1879, under dubious pretences, the British finally crossed the Buffalo River, and embarked on a bloody war that was to rock the very foundations of the British Empire. 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.
