28th November 2001	Peter Critchley Hi Dan, Check out the Books section.. I don't think there are any books that specifically cover Ulundi, but there's certainly a very comprehensive piece on this site. All the best, Peter Webmaster
28th November 2001	JohnYoung Dan, I hate to contradict the Webmaster, but there is "The Battle of Ulundi", was written by John Laband, and published in 1988, it's an illustrated paperback, published in South Africa. John
29th November 2001	Martin Everett Dan, It is covered in the Narrative of Field Operations published by the War Office in 1880; you may find a recent reprint from Greenhill Books. I think it is also covered in one of Ian Knight's book 'Great Zulu Battles' - I could not be quite sure of the title.
30th November 2001	John Young In answer to your answer, Martin, it's also covering in "They Fell Like Stones...", our is that blowing my own trumpet! We have also covered the battle in "The Journal of the Anglo-Zulu War Research Society". I'll sort out the article and forward it to Dan's address, if he'd like? John Young Anglo-Zulu War Research Society.

3rd December 2001	Peter Critchley :) Thanks for clearing that one up John - I'm normally caught out on these.. It should also be noted that the excellent piece covering Ulundi on this website was written by John Young, and should prove a very good starting place for you Dan. All the best, Peter
