Narrator: Jay Herbert
In January 1879, a powerful and modern British army advanced confidently into Zululand, determined to kill or capture Zulu King Cetwayo and crush the Zulu warrior army. Days later, the British soldiers were in headlong retreat, having suffered one of the most devastating defeats in British military history. That same day, only a gallant defense of a small outpost at Rorke's Drift, matching one hundred British soldiers against four thousand Zulus, redeemed British imperial esteem. You may know these two battles, but the campaign as a whole only lasted eight months and was full of desperate defenses, heroic attacks, tragedies, and surprise reversals of fortune. In this audiobook, you will gain a good understanding of the causes, course, and consequences of the war.
