This book depicts the scenes and protagonists of the Zulu War exactly as they appeared to those who took part a hundred years ago. The author researched over 150 photographs and contemporary illustrations from museums and private collections, both in England and South Africa; many have never been published before. These are complemented by a text which explains the background and causes of the war. The opposing forces and plans, and the course of the campaign, from its disastrous beginning until the final overthrow of the most feared tribe in Africa. ; B&W Illustrations; Small 4to 9" - 11...

Throughout his life Billy Bishop was something of an eccentric--a man of ebullient high spirits and feverish enthusiasms. As a boy in Owen Sound, Ontario, he was no prodigy for learning. His three years at the Royal Military College were disastrous--an epic of rules broken and discipline scorned. He often admitted that his special method of landing wrecked more planes than he shot down.

Life in a German prison-of-war camp in 1943 was not one of unparalleled comfort and ease. If, therefore, a sinister German officer came round, picked you out from your fellow men, and suggested that you went back to England and spied for them, , you thought twice about it. And the second thought was that once you got there you could give yourself up to the nearest familiar old British copper, couldn't you? What a perfect way to get back to the family. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 287 pages; 25431 View more info
