Majuba 1881: The hill of destiny: Campaign

Autor Ian Castle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 noi 1996
In 1881 the tension between Britain and the Boer farmers of southern Africa that had existed for 75 years boiled over into open conflict. This concise, illustrated volume examines this conflict in detail.

The British entered the war full of confidence, yet in a few short weeks they had suffered three separate reverses before suffering their final humiliating defeat on the isolated summit of Majuba. George Colley's force were swept off their 'unassailable' position and into headlong retreat. It was a defeat that sent shock waves reverberating around the Empire.

Accompanied by maps and illustrations throughout, Ian Castle examines not only the battle at Majuba, but also the previous engagements at Laing's Nek, Schuinshoogte and Bronkhorstspruit.
