How it works

Register

240 pages, colour frontispiece, map, plans, numerous colour and black and white plates and illustrations, brown skivertex gilt with gilt vignette of a Zulu warrior on the upper cover, titled gilt on the spine a very good copy in the dust jacket (without the slipcase.)

This impressive volume was published to coincide with the centenary of the Zulu War in 1979. At the time it was not a commercial success and copies were being remaindered by the early 1980's (these did not have the slipcase which is present with the copy). However, within a few years and the growth of interest in the Zulu War it became scarce and much in demand. Most of the numerous colour illustrations in the work are from a set of contemporary coloured lantern slides.
