384pp. B&W Photographs. Wolseley ... Was an Anglo-Irish officer. .. What made him a household name - he is the original 'Modern Magor-Genera l' - was campaigning in Africa. In just one year he captured the two most powerful and dangerous potentates on the continent: Cetshwayo, whose Zulus had humbled the British in many battles including Isandlwana; and Sekhukhume of the Bapudi, whose warriors had twice beaten white armies, including a British one. Wolseley was ambitious, clever, lucky, insecure and a magnificent showman. The reader will love him or hate him as this arch- imperialist re-shapes southern Africa aided by a large cast of colourful and eccentric characters..., 8vo, Fine in Fine Dust Jacket
