South Africa Editorial Review
**** "British Infantryman vs Zulu Warrior: Anglo-Zulu War 1879" is the third installment of the Osprey Combat series, authored by renowned military historian Ian Knight. This volume focuses on the dynamics of one of history's notable conflicts, offering a balanced view of both the British and Zulu forces. The book effectively captures the essence of the Anglo-Zulu War through compelling narratives, expert analysis, and a wealth of visual aids, including maps and color plates that depict the combatants. The content is meticulously organized within 80 pages, providing a concise overview of the British soldier's development during the Victorian era alongside the formidable Zulu warrior famed for their skill and bravery. Knight’s narrative details significant engagements such as the ambush at Nyezane and the iconic battle of iSandlwana, providing insights through first-hand accounts and emphasizing the juxtaposition of technologically advanced British troops against the courage and ingenuity of the Zulu. While the volume's brevity means some topics are covered only on a surface level, it compensates for this with its vibrant illustrations and detailed maps, making it visually engaging and accessible. Readers appreciate the book for its fresh perspectives, especially regarding African experiences during the conflict, which are often overlooked in traditional narratives. Some might find the choice of battles, such as the focus on iSandlwana, a bit clichéd, yet the depth and quality of the research invite further exploration into the colonial wars of the late 19th century. Overall, "British Infantryman vs Zulu Warrior" serves as a satisfactory introduction for those seeking to understand this chapter of military history, and it offers beneficial insights for wargaming enthusiasts. **
