It is December 1878, and war looms on the horizon in South Africa. British high commissioner Sir Henry Bartle-Frere seeks to dismantle the powerful neighboring kingdom of the Zulus and uses an incursion along the disputed border as his justification for war. He issues an impossible ultimatum to the Zulu king, Cetshwayo, demanding he disband his armies and pay massive reparations. With a heavy heart, the king prepares his nation for war against their former allies.
Leading the invasion is Lieutenant General Sir Frederic Thesiger, Baron Chelmsford, a highly experienced officer fresh off a decisive triumph over the neighboring Xhosa tribes. He and Frere are convinced that a quick victory over the Zulus will negate any repercussions from the home government for launching what is, in essence, an illegal war.
Recently arrived to South Africa are newly recruited privates Arthur Wilkinson and Richard Lowe, members of C Company, 1/24th Regiment of Foot under the venerable Captain Reginald Younghusband. Eager for adventure, they are prepared to do their duty both for the empire and for their friends.
As Frere's ultimatum expires, the army of British redcoats and allied African auxiliaries crosses the uMzinyathi River at Rorke's Drift into Zululand. Ten days later the British and Zulus will meet their destiny at the base of a mountain called Isandlwana.

Historia
The year is AD 66, and the Roman province of Judea has exploded in rebellion. Far from being a revolution of unified peoples, the various Jewish factions of Sadducees, Zealots, Sicarii, and Edomites are in a state of civil war; as anxious to spill the blood of each other as they are to fight the Romans. The Judeans find hope when the Romans commit a serious tactical blunder and allow their forces to be ambushed and nearly destroyed in the mountain pass of Beth Horon.

Historia
On January 22, 1879, a massive Zulu host attacked the British Army's 24th Regiment in its encampment at the foot of the mountain of Isandlwana. It was the first major encounter in the Anglo-Zulu War and a disastrous defeat for the colonial power. Later that afternoon the victorious Zulus would strike the tiny British garrison at Rorke's Drift.

Historia
On January 22, 1879, the British Army in South Africa was swept aside by the seemingly unstoppable Zulu warriors at the Battle of Isandlwana. Nearby, at a remote outpost on the Buffalo River, a single company of the 24th Regiment and a few dozen recuperating hospital patients were passing a hot, monotonous day. It seemed certain that the Rorke's Drift detachment would share the same fate. And yet, against incredible odds, the British managed to defend their station.

In this dramatic and readable account of last stands in history - famous or otherwise - Walsh explores the stakes that led men at very different times and places to face overwhelming odds and certain death for the sake of family, home and country.

Often hailed as the godfather of today's elite special forces, Robert Rogers trained and led an unorthodox unit of green provincials, raw woodsmen, farmers, and Indian scouts on "impossible" missions in colonial America that are still the stuff of soldiers' legend. The child of marginalized Scots-Irish immigrants, Rogers learned to survive in New England's dark and deadly forests, grasping, as did few others, that a new world required new forms of warfare. John F. Ross not only re-creates Rogers's life and his spectacular battles with breathtaking immediacy and meticulous accuracy...

Historia
The Great Boer War (1899-1902) - more properly the Great Anglo-Boer War - was one of the last romantic wars, pitting a sturdy, stubborn pioneer people fighting to establish the independence of their tiny nation against the British Empire at its peak of power and self-confidence. It was fought in the barren vastness of the South African veldt, and it produced in almost equal measure extraordinary feats of personal heroism, unbelievable examples of folly and stupidity, and many incidents of humor and tragedy.

The Romans invaded Britannia in AD 43 confident of victory. They swept through a divided and ill-equipped enemy, scattered across tough terrain. But one man was not prepared to surrender. Caratacus - quick-witted youngest son of a a tribal king - had been trained from birth to be a warrior of power and grit. Sent to be schooled by the Druids in his boyhood, his training meant that an already strong and cunning prince returned to his father's kingdom as a war machine.

Historia
The terrible conflict that dominated the mid-19th century, the Crimean War, killed at least 800,000 men and pitted Russia against a formidable coalition of Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire. It was a war for territory, provoked by fear that if the Ottoman Empire were to collapse then Russia could control a huge swathe of land from the Balkans to the Persian Gulf. But it was also a war of religion, driven by a fervent, populist and ever more ferocious belief by the Tsar and his ministers that it was Russia's task to rule all Orthodox Christians and control the Holy Land.

On Winston Churchill’s first day as prime minister, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next 12 months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons. It was up to Churchill to hold his country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally - and willing to fight to the end. In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson shows how Churchill taught the British people "the art of being fearless."

Truth in Fiction?
So believable that one might think the dialogue was from the mouths of those soldiers and officers of the Queens army. The vast research which must’ve taken course by Mace is overwhelming to consider. However, all accounts of this greatest defeat in the Victorian army, which I have studied prove up Mace’s outstanding representation.

Brutal History Wonderfully Retold
I hadn't previously known anything about the Anglo-Zulu wars. This book brought to life the actual brave redcoats who were there and fought and died, as well as the brave Zulu warriors involved.
What I appreciated most is both sides are told and neither side is made out to be the villain, except those who actually started the conflict with their own selfish motivations.
I feel that the British and the Zulus whose stories are told herein would feel that this book did them justice.
Once again, as many times throughout history, the astounding and needless loss of life involved in war is painful to revisit.
The amount of research James Mace has done to write this series is astounding.
Jonathan Waters is an incredibly talented narrator. His Zulu accent and voices, as well as the voices he chose for the different British army personnel are really spot on. I looked many of the people up on Wikipedia as I was listening and felt that he really nailed what their voice would have sounded like. He really brought them all to life.
I was provided this audiobook to review.

Brutal indeed - awsome for war history buffs
I love it!
This story is so rich in detail, which feels utterly well researched that it blends perfectly the historical nature with the fictional narrative. The parties within the story are very clearly delinated which makes it easy to follow - and yet, given the story's premises, i am drawn from supporting one and then the other. On several occasions in this listen I am touched on my base values (honor among soldiers/warriors being one of them) to a point where I rewind and relisten - just to make sure I actually registrered what happened.
The level of detail in the descriptions of especially the Zulu culture and traditions and the tribal affiliations is incredible. For someone like me, who likes the idea of hero leaders, there is a veritable host of interesting cast. The characterisation of key personae is so vivid it made me realize why so many campaigns fail misserably even though "everything was planned and strategized intelligently and wisely" (Mind you, dear reader, not just in a war setting but also in my real life business experience)
I like the fact that, while some passages are gory, it never seems to go over the top to prove a point. Its sober in a sense, in that it is enough for me to get that slight gut wrenching feeling and a bit of a tingle in the extremieties described but never to a point where I go "oh man!!" which makes this a very balanced listen. It isn't a caricature of "North vs. South brutality" but a harsh "war is terrible and unpredictable" which sets this book apart from others I have read.
One thing I do slightly miss, is a deeper sense of connection with some of the major cast's emotions regarding personal relationships. There is personal dilemma and certainly the sense of personall loss in the face of war, but it seem underdeveloped in some instances where an epilogue might have shed some more ligtht on the war distress.
. It isn't the point of the narrative, so it does not detract from the vividness of the story - it is more like...icing, really. It can also easily be explained by the nature of infrastructure and sheer distances in the setting.
I especially like the feeling of isolation the narrative conveys. The army is far, far away from home, queen, country and representation of rule - and it shows in the development of decisions and the consequent actions.
A very recommendable listen.

Fascinating story!💜
This was not my genre and it’s a war story so I wasn’t expecting to like it. That said, I found it to be a riveting, engaging & heartbreaking story of war, duty & honor. I found myself on the edge of my seat praying for the safety of these men. I understand this was based on actual events but because history was not my favorite subject I had no idea how it would end which added some excitement to this this story. In the beginning there were a lot of foreign names that were difficult for me to remember but once I got into it, I really enjoyed it.
The performance by Jonathan Waters was wonderful. He really nailed these characters and all the different accents. I totally imagined I was watching a movie and shouting out orders to the soldiers had me wanting to stand at attention. Bravo 👏
This is book 1 in this series. If this is your genre I recommend this book.

History comes alive
This is a wonderfully written history of how some unscrupulous men started a war between the UK and the Zulu Nation.
The story is wonderfully written and really puts you in the middle of the action. The narration was expertly some. The multitude of characters were voiced very convincingly from the Lords, the aristocratic officers, working class soldiers, out the Zulu warriors.
Jonathan Waters has amazing skill and I will definitely listen to more of his work.
