-Dear Sister and Brother, death has been very busy gathering his harvest in this country,- wrote a soldier of the 80th Regiment from the brutal Anglo-Zulu War front in April 1879. -War in all its horrors has been let loose.-Few wars have captured the imagination as much as this conflict, and foreign names like Isandlwana, Rorke-s Drift and Gingindlovu have become entrenched in British military folklore. Eleven Victoria Crosses were earned during the epic bloody battle at Rorke-s Drift.Isandlwana to Ulundi is a compelling narrative of Lord Chelmsford-s invasion of Zululand to conquer Zulu king Cetshwayo-s royal capital of Ulundi. Through soldiers- letters from a ferocious front, war memoirs and other literary sources, a vivid picture is painted of the course of the conflict, the pressures of war on individuals and units, and of the harsh conditions under which they lived, fought and died.
