The authors write, 'The book explains the origins of the conflict, the Zulu, British and colonial military systems, and the combatants' strategies and tactics. It includes a narrative of the course of the campaign accompanied by maps of military operations, descriptions of the fortifications with detailed diagrams, and accounts with maps of all the major battles and several lesser engagements. All the campaign, battle and sector maps are in full colour, as are many of the pictures which enliven the text.'The aim is to lead the reader through the history of the campaign and to guide them to the actual sites of the war, while at the same time providing a sense of the human and social context in which military and civilian commentators of a previous century experienced the violence of invasion and war. In all is aspects this book is the essential guide to a full understanding of the Zululand campaign of 1879.'
