Sobre este artículo
(London: BCA, 1992). 8vo; original purple boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 272, incl. index; plates; some battle plans and line drawings. Dustwrapper's spine panel sunned. Very good condition. "Now, Ian Knight, author of Brave Men's Blood, the most comprehensive account of he war yet published, has carefully selected the most interesting and important Zulu war reminiscences in one volume. The extracts range from the recollections of commanding officers like Colonel Evelyn Wood, to leading officers, such as Hamilton-Browne, Harrison, Bengough, Grenfell, and lesser figures, such as Smith-Dorrien, who nonetheless had fascinating stories to tell. There are accounts of great battles, such as Isandlwana, Hlobane, Khambula and Ulundi, all vividly evoked by eye-witnesses, as well as minor incidents and scares, and the drudgery of day to day campaigning: even a little of the humour of camp life is included." .
