Author Description

The heroic defence of the mission station at Rorke's Drift became the epic action of the Anglo-Zulu war. A small garrison defended this vulnerable border-post for ten hours and in the process won the northern sector at Ntcombe Drift, Hlobane and Khambula. This title also includes the story of the death of the exiled French Prince Imperial in a skirmish, which had the severest repercussions for those involved.
