The Redcoat campaign in Zululand in 1879 holds a special place in the pantheon of military history. Its two most famous battles - the dreadful slaughter at Islandlwana and the heroic defence of Rorke's Drift still hold an enduring fascination. These epic encounters are laced with tales of courage and valour on both sides. The incredible determination of the Zulu warriors and the sheer professionalism and bravery of the British soldiers ensures that the Zulu Wars maintain their place in the popular imagination.

Featuring footage from the movie 'Zulu Dawn' this DVD is a spectacular true record of the war against the Zulus. Exciting specially filmed reconstructions and re-enactments, plus dramatised "£eye-witness" accounts combine with the very latest 3ED mapping techniques and superb period imagery to tell the epic story of the momentous chapter in military history.
