520    The battle of Isandlwana – a great Zulu victory &
       ndash; was one of the worst defeats ever to befall a 
       British Army. At noon on 22 January 1879, a British camp, 
       garrisoned by over 1700 troops, was attacked and 
       overwhelmed by 20,000 Zulu warriors. The defeat of the 
       British, armed with the most modern weaponry of the day, 
       caused disbelief and outrage throughout Queen Victoria's 
       England. The obvious culprit for the blunder was 
       Lieutenant General Lord Chelmsford, the defeated 
       commander. Appearing to respond to the outcry, he ordered 
       a court of inquiry. But there followed a carefully 
       conducted cover-up in which Chelmsford found a scapegoat 
       in the dead – most notably, in Colonel Anthony 
       Durnford. Using source material ranging from the Royal 
       Windsor Archives to the oral history passed down to the 
       present Zulu inhabitants of Isandlwana, this gripping 
       history exposes the full extent of the blunders of this 
       famous battle and the scandal that followed. It also gives
       full credit to the masterful tactics of the 20,000 strong 
       Zulu force and to Ntshingwayo kaMahole, for the way in 
       which he comprehensively out-generalled Chelmsford.This is
       an illuminating account of one of the most embarrassing 
       episodes in British military history and of a spectacular 
       Zulu victory. The authors superbly weave the excitement of
       the battle, the British mistakes, the brilliant Zulu 
       tactics and the shameful cover up into an exhilarating and
       tragic tale. [Elib]
