The presence of Sister Janet is due to a previous book on her by the author. Hopefully there is more evidence in the book to justify her position.

As long as the publisher puts RD in the title they'll sell a few copies.
Any one know/heard of the author? AMB |

Amazon are now saying that the publication date is 1st July 2015, but also that it has not yet been released as of today. The price remains �19.99, but at least two suppliers are offering it ("New") for around �15.00. Has anyone seen this at all, please? Thanks. |

I think I have the "myth" edition
Chapter 4 extract from first paragraph (page 24) 'The Zulus opened the battle by covertly moving their army behind and to the flank of the British camp during the night of 22 January and moving to attack Isandlwana shortly after dawn' I am not an expert but personally found the book full of "myths" |

Robin, that quote doesn't make sense to me. In any event, did he mean the early morning of the 22nd?
Where is he getting his information. Were there credits? |

It sounds like we've all had to wait for this in order to get the true facts. I'm almost tempted to buy a copy. Almost.

Damain.. I bought locally WC Books Nottingham Road R400 They will always source for me, local or import
Alan, she is "assisted" by AZWHS, Alan Greaves, Ian Knight et all Its clearly a mistake, I think she meant the evening of the 21st I have 2 "queries" She states that the Zulu corpses were cremated and buried at RD. I have never heard of them being cremated. Welcome advice 2nd The Hlubi were Sesotho, I accept that the Hlubi were "driven" into Lesotho by Durnford at Bushman River Pass, but I think they retained their Hlubi identity closer to Zulu than Sesotho. Again I welcome advice. Ken??? |
