520 $a"The Zulu War of 1879 was ill-conveived, incompetently executed and served no useful purpose for the British, who started it. Launched as a pre-emptive strike against King Cetshwayo to create a South African federation, the campaign suffered a catastrophic early defeat at Isandlwana that would have lost its commander his job had the heroic defence of Rorke's Drift not taken place the same day. Turning preconceived notions about the conflict on their head, Saul David provides a devastating and utterly gripping re-examination of this short war and draws some striking parallels with the modern world"--Back cover.
