Zulu Victory The Epic of Isandlwana & the Cover-up
by Ron Lock & Peter Quantrill

How refreshing it is to see new material on the subject of the Battle of Isandlwana provided by two authors who truly have a feel for the subject they are writing about. The book gives a detailed insight into an event, which to this day is still shrouded in mystery.. Click for more

The Noble 24th

Review by Dawn Young

'The Zulu War Through the eyes of 'The Illustrated LONDON NEWS'

A new book compiled by Ron Lock and Peter Quantrill, co-authors of 'Zulu Victory: the Epic of Isandlwana and the Cover-Up', is now available in hard cover with colour jacket. It contains original reports and illustrations of the 1879 Zulu War from 'The Illustrated LONDON NEWS', with a foreward by David Rattray of Fugitives' Drift. The book contains over 300 pages with 200 dramatic black and white illustrations. A fascinating insight to the view of the War through the Victorian illustrated press. Destined to become a collectors item.
