Companion to the Anglo-Zulu War by Ian Knight (2008, Hardcover) 1st Ed.

The Anglo-Zulu War was a defining episode in British imperial\nhistory, and it is still a subject of intense interest. The Zulu victory at\nIsandlwana, the heroic British defence of Rorke's Drift and the eventual\nBritish triumph are among the most closely researched events of the colonial\nera. In this historical companion, Ian Knight, one of the foremost authorities\non the war and the Zulu kingdom, provides an essential reference guide to a\nshort, bloody campaign that had an enduring impact on the history of Britain\nand southern Africa. He gives succinct summaries of the issues, events, armies\nand individuals involved. His work is an invaluable resource for anyone who is\ninterested in the history of the period, in the operations of the British army\nin southern Africa, and in the Zulu kingdom.\nThe cut edges are a little stained from being on a dusty shelf. Otherwise excellent. I am not a book expert so please ask any questions about the condition if this is important to you a.
