The 1879 Zulu War through the eyes of the Illustrated London News
Ron Lock and Peter Quantrill
The movie Zulu created a near-avalanche of books, articles, lectures, documentaries and web sites that has become close to an industry. But the basis of all this activity was, in fact, generated 120 years ago by weekly magazines of Victorian England, such as the Illustrated London News. Every Saturday morning, at the cost of six pence, the Illustrated London News presented its readers description of events and bloody battle brought alive by the magnificent illustrations drawn by the top war artists of the day. This compilation of the Illustrated London News, with a foreword by David Rattray of Fugitives’ Drift, containing over 300 pages, 200 dramatic black and white illustrations has been compiled by Ron Lock and Peter Quantrill, co-authors of the acclaimed Zulu Victory: the Epic of Isandlwana and the Cover-up. Hardback.
