The battle of Isandlwana fought on 22 January 1879 was the greatest defeat suffered by the British Army during the Victorian era.  A Zulu army of 24,000 warriors had moved undetected to within striking distance of the British camp in the shadow of Isandlwana Mountain.  From the start the 1,700 defenders underestimated the danger descending upon them.  They were swept aside with horrifying speed and the final stage of the battle consisted of desperate hand-to-hand fighting amid the British camp.  Over 1,300 men were killed; scarcely 60 Europeans survived.  This books draws on the latest archaeological and historical research to provide a completely new interpretation of the course of the battle.
