For 120 years the Anglo-Zulu War has fascinated people from all over the world, and accounts of its dramatic and terrible battles have passed into the realms of folklore. The Zulus challenged the might of Victorian Britain, and armed with their assegais, their rawhide shields and their courage, they began by inflicting upon the British the worst defeat a modern army has ever suffered at the hands of men without guns.

To the men on the spot, the invasion of Zululand by the British was not undertaken to increase the bounds of the British Empire, but as a protective measure for black and white alike against the greatest and most powerful warrior nation Africa had ever known, who, it was believed, threatened the stability of an already highly volatile part of the world. Much has changed in Africa since those days.
