Product Description By the end of the nineteenth century the fame of the Zulu was world-wide, and their army was one of the few non-European military organisations to have become the subject of serious historical study. Their very name is still synonymous with bravery, discipline and military skill. This excellent addition to Osprey's Men-at-Arms series tells the story of the Zulu's at war, from their rise to unrivalled power under the fearsome Shaka to the final devastating defeat against the British at Ulundi, detailing Zulu weapons and tactics, and the famous battles in which they fought. | ||

The Zulu War This early men-at-arms title is an excellent source on the fighting men of the Zulu Wars, focusing equally on the Zulu themselves and the British and their African allies. The color plates are amongst Angus McBride's earliest, and the book itself is also expertly written by the famous illustrator. Overall, like all men-at-arms titles it is an unrivalled source on the organization, clothing, and weaponry of its subject. | ||
The Magic of McBride Angus McBride is one of the best Military Illustrators on the scene. His work is always interesting , realistic , convincing & coupled with a very sly sense of humor. If your forte is Military History and want an idea of what a warrior looks like from the past. You could do a whole lot worse than this series. (I myself own over 300 of them and use them a lot in my classroom) The only down side of this series is that the written part is usally not up to the caliber of the illustrations. | ||
