On the spot reportage of catastrophe and victory in Victorian Africa This book has much in common with D. C. F. Moodie's work on the subject published by Leonaur under the title 'Zulu:1879.'

On the spot reportage of catastrophe and victory in Victorian Africa This book has much in common with D. C. F. Moodie's work on the subject published by Leonaur under the title 'Zulu:1879.' Wilmot was also present in South Africa at the time the events were unfolding and his book was completed there before the year was over. Wilmot also seems to have had access to those who experienced at first hand the war's low and high points and he was also made reference to Blue Books and the work, reports and letters of correspondents of all kinds. Whilst this manner of reportage lacks the evaluation of time considered analysis, it nevertheless provides an immediacy that no true history book can possibly match. Wilmot's perspective of the Zulu War gives the reader a predictably colonial view of the causes of the conflict as well as an outline of its principal events. Much valuable information is found in his accounts of Isandhlwana, Ekowe, Ulundi and the hunt and capture of Cetywayo. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket for collectors and an essential addition to any library of the Zulu War.
