The defence of Rorke's Drift has gone down in history as one of the grandest heroic actions of British colonial wars.

The action has been immortalized in the film Zulu. Michael Glover shows how this undoubted act of bravery was exploited for political ends, and why an event of little military consequence found its way into the National Hagiography of Battles.
