Dear All,
Details of a new book pertaining to the Prince Imperial: End of a Dynasty. The Last Days of the Prince Imperial, Zululand 1879 by Deleage, Paul (author), and Fleur Webb (translator) (Pietermaritzburg: University of KwaZulu-Natal Press, 2007) 240 x 170 mm; laminated pictorial wraps; pp. 284. Introduction and notes by Bill Guest. �Paul Deleage, a young correspondent attached to the prestigious French newspaper Le Figaro, was sent to report on the Prince Imperial�s African adventure during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. In fact, Deleage was the only French journalist to the cover the war. His account of the three months he spent with the British High Command, to which the Prince Louis Napoleon was seconded, was published in French 125 years ago. This translation from the original (Trois Mois Chez les Zoulous) brings to life an extraordinary piece of history. It provides a unique and intimate picture of the last few months in the life of the French Prince Imperial, before his death by assegai in a lonely valley in Africa.� I was notified about the book by Lindsay Christison, Christison Rare Books P O Box 24093, Sherwood, Port Elizabeth, 6034, South Africa Email: [email protected] AMB |
