Description: "This book is not about the Zulu War of 1879 per se; enough already has been written on that account. It is the story of some of those Irishmen who volunteered for service in Queen Victoria's Army and found themselves involved in not only the greatest defeat of the British soldier at the hands of a native enemy, but also some remarkable victories."--Book jacket.
