Just how bad did the British have it in Zululand, regarding medical, living conditions, food, clothing, punishment? We have seen a few eye witness accounts, but has there been a comprehensive study that substantiates the truth.

OH I do have the book and certainly think its well worth having , I dont have access to my books for a couple of days but fairly certain that Knight does draw on eye witness accounts . As I said , it covers all aspescts of the LITTLE known facts of the war , doesnt go into the battles in great detail , but covers ALL the aspects which your original post was asking . So it's well worth you purchasing in my humble opinion . Cheers 90th.
