Quarto - Small. Unpaginated - approx 30 pages. In reprinting from facsimile from the original, any imperfections are inevitably reproduced and the quality may fall short of modern type and cartographic standards. 'Compiled from information obtained from the most reliable sources, and published by direction of The Lieut-general Commanding for the information of those under his command'. Second edition, Revised. Still in publisher's shrink-wrap. A very rare and important publication - this is the handbook issued to British Staff officers on the eve of their invasion of Natal and the ensuing Zulu War in 1879. It gives a detailed picture of Zulu society, individual chieftains, military tactics, warriors' dress and history 'compiled from information obtained from the most reliable sources'. It includes a diagram of the famous Zulu attack formation, based on the horns of cattle, in which the enemy was enveloped on both wings by two horns, while the body of the 'bull' was held in reserve. The detailed intelligence that the British had built up on their potential enemy listed in this eye-opening little book is quite staggering. However, in the campaign that followed, much of that intelligence was not utilised thanks to the incompetent conduct of the campaign. ALL ORDERS DESPATCHED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER.
