About This Item
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.: Greenhill Pr, 1995. 224 pages, profusely illustrated with historic B & W photos, drawings and a number of maps. "Zulu Victory and Defeat Hlobane and Kambula, 1879." The Zulu stronghold of Hlobane ('the Painted Mountain') dominated a vast area of disputed land in northern Natal. It was the scene of a terrible reverse for the British, but at Kambula the next day they inflicted an even more catastrophic defeat upon the Zulus. The Zulus never fully recovered from this repulse which left 1,000 Zulu dead on the Zunguin Plain, and it marked the turning point in the war. Clean. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
