Product Description

Review
Produced to the very high standard that Osprey books have become known for.

Product Description
For many people the epitome of the British soldier of the late Victorian period is the Redcoat who fought in southern Africa in the 1870s. This title covers the key period of the wars against the Zulu and Boers; the dramatic battles of Rorke's Drift, Isandlwana, Ulundi, Laing's Nek and Majuba are some of the most famous engagements in the history of the British Army. The journey of the British soldier from the back streets of Britain's inner cities, to the isolated rock outcrop of Isandlwana and the mountain top of Majuba is one of discipline, devotion, loyalty, bravery, determination and sheer hard-work. It is a journey from which many men never returned.

5.0 out of 5 stars British Infantryman in South Africa 1877-81: The Anglo-Zulu, 13 Feb 2004
This is a subject that has attracted a wide audience over recent years. Very well written by a leading author on the subject, this book has a good selection of period pictures and some truely excellent illustrations. For those new to the subject, this is an excellent start; for those of a greater knowledge, this book will save you a large amount of wider reading. A book well worth the cover price.
