Readers might like to know about a new book by Huw M. Jones to be published later this month. It is called The Boiling Cauldron and the following description is from the introductory flyer:
"This community history provides a comprehensive account of events that ultimately led to the clashes at Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift in January 1879. Here is the history of the area that became known as 'The Disputed Territory' and the complicated relationships between several African polities, Boers and British. As the war between the Zulu and the British was being fought in Natal, ongoing along the Transvaal border to the north was a series of local clashes between neighbours that culminated in the action at Hlobane on 28 March. For the first time with full references, The Boiling Cauldron describes that battle in which the local people out-manoeuvred a force of colonial horsemen. burghers and impressed African levies led by Lt-Col H.E. Wood." Those interested can go to www.casus-belli-co.uk for more details. KIS |
