520    Wednesday 22 January 1879 was one of the most dramatic 
       days in the long and distinguished history of the British 
       Army. At noon a massive Zulu host attacked the 24th 
       Regiment in its encampment at the foot of the mountain of 
       Isandlwana, a distinctive feature that bore an eerie 
       resemblance to the Sphinx badge of the outnumbered 
       redcoats. Disaster ensued. Later that afternoon the 
       victorious Zulus would strike the tiny British garrison at
       Rorke’s Drift. How Can Man Die Better is a unique 
       analysis of Isandlwana – of the weapons, tactics, 
       ground, and the intriguing characters who made the key 
       military decisions. Because the fatal loss was so high on 
       the British side there is still much that is unknown about
       the battle. This is a work of unparalleled depth, which 
       eschews the commonly held perception that the British 
       collapse was sudden and that the 24th Regiment was quickly
       overwhelmed. Rather, there was a protracted and heroic 
       defence against a determined and equally heroic foe. The 
       author reconstructs the final phase of the battle in a way
       that has never been attempted before. It was to become the
       stuff of legend, which brings to life so vividly the fear 
       and smell the blood. [Elib]
