SMACK!!! That price hits you in the face.

Is this new material or is it a collection of already researched material that is available on the bookshelves put together in a new dust cover and title.

Hi Dave .
This isnt a book on the war as such . It's a reference guide for what articles have been printed on the war . Hope that makes sense.
I ordered a copy back in March for a lot less than this price !. Waiting for my online seller to send it and bill me .

My copy of TWOTS as 656 pages. The first book to cover this subject hardback and it cost nowhere near the price being asked for this publication.

But there are many website where you can obtain reference information relating to books published on the Zulu War. Maybe there is a point to this book, but for the life of me I can't see it. scratch

I ordered this book a few weeks ago and it should be here early August. It was only with luck I had the money available to buy it. Is the author Harold Raugh a member of this forum ?

Not see him on this forum. Idea

He is a member on another Zulu War Forum. It appears we can't mentioned this particular site but here a link to give you a clue.

Hi all.
I've had my copy for a while but haven't had the time to have a really good look at it as yet .

This book by Harold Raugh arrived in the post today. My very early first impression is that it is full of quality information, normally scattered throughout many books. A single volume being a source for most if not all sought data. As it is a reference book, rather than telling a story of the Zulu War 1879, it has a different use, rather than reading through like a normal history book, but definitely a title worth acquiring. Price is its major downside, but I feel that is the only thing going against it.

Hi Colin.
A very important book if one is looking for the lesser known sources , Price is a bit steep , and reading what Harold has said about
it on the RDVC Forum he wasnt happy either !. In other words I'm with you .
cheers 90th. Idea
