Book Synopsis
Black Africans made up more than half of the British army that invaded Zululand in January of 1879 and went on to fight the storied battles of Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift, and Ulundi. This book presents an account of Britain's black allies in the Anglo-Zulu War.

Trade Review
In addition to providing an account from the contingent's perspective of NNC participation in the epic battle of Isandlwana, Thompson has recounted their service over the whole scope of the war.... His account is based on a rich selection of contemporary primary sources: diaries, journals, letters, memoirs, government documents. This extensive research has enabled the author to conclude that the NNC was indispensable to the British victory in the Zulu War. - Journal of Military History
