Local Heroes: Rorke's Drift Men (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Concise and informative biographical tributes to sixteen rank-and-file soldiers who took part in the defence of Rorke’s Drift during the Zulu War. They were rough-and-ready lads from the coal mining and cotton manufacturing communities in and around the tough city slums, and their only alternative to the highly-disciplined life in the British Army was the precarious environment and drudgery of the pit and mill.
