Zulu : the heroism and tragedy of the Zulu War of 1879

The Zulu War of 1879 was the most brutal and controversial British imperial conflict of the 19th century.

Saul David is presenting a programme on the subject which will be aired in October 2003.

He is using research from that to compile this book.

The programme will hopefully raise awareness of this young historian's name and of the subject matter.
