Rorke's Drift & Isandlwana 1879

Meer over het boek

"On 22 January 1879 a powerful British column invading Zululand was decisively defeated beneath a hill called Isandlwana. Later on that same day, 4,000 Zulus attacked a garrison of no more than 100 Britsish troops at the mission station at Rorke's Drift, only a few miles from Isandlwana. The British held out against all reasonable expectations, eventually beating off their attackers and winning eleven Victoria Crosses between them."--Back cover.
