One of the most comprehensive accounts of the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War ever published, "Brave Men's Blood" is also the best illustrated. The result of years of research in Britain, South Africa, France, the USA and Australia, it includes 270 contemporary illustrations integrated with text providing a concise history of the Zulu state and the causes of the war. The illustrations of men in action, uniforms and weapons, brings to life the experiences of soldiers from both sides, and create a sense of life in the field and the drama of combat itself. Battles are depicted in contemporary sketches and engravings that present a unique record of the campaign.
