Military History Sources for Family Histories, The Zulu War |

Dear All,
I have just received a book about the Zulu War that I thought I�d bring to the Forum�s attention: Military History Sources for Family Histories, The Zulu War 1879 by Phil Tomaselli. ISBN: 1-86006-194-X Published by the Federation of Family History Societies (Publications) Ltd, 2006. Whilst a very sharp bookshop in Devon took me for �24 (I got mine on-line), the cover price for the book is only �4.95. Having now physically looked at the book, I note that it�s available from www.genfair.com and having now looked at their site, the book can be purchased from them for as little as �1.25! A general history of the war leads in to a very simple guide on how one can trace ancestors who might have fought in South Africa in 1879. A bibliography is also included, although many of the later works on the AZW are omitted (albeit, Saul David�s flawed work is mentioned). Well worth �1.25, NOT �24! AMB (Very grumpy!) |

Thank you, Peter - that makes me feel much better!?! :o(
Sadly, as one who rarely gets to English language bookshops, the internet is my only means of adding to my library. However, that said, most booksellers are fair. This chap from Devon is clearly prepared to rip people off. Without the benefit of actually seeing books, sometimes one does take chances. AMB |
