| hi all. For those who are new to the zulu war and the forum and looking for a first class book . Myself and others see this a wonderful chance to purchase a valued book full Information with many accounts by Colonial troops that arent seen in many other publications , there is no photo but email the seller if you have any concerns.

| Interesting thing is that when a question pops up, thats the first book I reach for. 9 times out of 10 the answer is there, or a pointer is in the references. |

I wish somebody like Ridley Scott or Peter Jackson would pick it up and say...hey lets make this into a movie! Well I can dream cant I.... |

| hi mons14 . Fairly certain I mentioned a long time ago that when it comes to making a movie you cant go past E. Wood's book ' From Midshipman To Field Marshall ' . The sights and escapes that he got up to from the time he joined the Navy till retirement , well , you have to read it and you will see for yourself . Truly a great book . I would also be happy to see a new movie on Isandlwana . Spielberg would do me fine !!. cheers 90th. |
