This is a graphic account of how British men as gallant soldiers in their struggle for survival against the brave Zulu warriors who attacked them during the epic defence of the storehouse and field hospital at Rorke's Drift, Natal, at the beginning of the Zulu War in January 1879. It is the result of a close comparison and examination of over thirty eyewitness accounts and letters, together with an in-depth study of official reports, various journals, and the newspapers printed at the time of the war. The narrative has been written in a way that allows the reader to experience the events with the same feelings of uncertainty about the situation as did the defenders. The work expresses the comradeship and horror of hand-to-hand combat, and highlights the fighting spirit of the British soldier, as officers and men tried to cope with the terrible events thrust upon them.
