Zulu Battle Piece - Isandhlwana
A reconstruction of the battle using evidence from official blue book reports and 'Narrative of Field Operations Connected with The Zulu War' prepared by the War Office and published in 1881; also using eye-witness accounts by survivors of Rourke's Drift, and some Zulu evidence. When the author visited the battlefield in 1947 he interviewed a Zulu over eighty years old, who had taken part in the fight as a young warrior in the Nkobamakosi regiment. Material also sourced from Norris Newman's unofficial narrative entitled 'In Zululand With The British' published in London in 1880. With 9 plates and 4 maps.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
