Taken from the dust wrapper:

In Zulu Rising, Ian Knight masterfully interlaces the personal stories of those who fought on both sides of the Anglo-Zulu War, painting a vivid and gripping portrait of the forces that led to one of history’s most harrowing confrontations. From Zulu patriots such as Mehlokazulu kaSihayo and Matshana kaMondise to seasoned British officers like Anthony Durnford and Charlie Harford, Knight brings to life the individuals at the human core of this savage and iconic conflict.
