The Battle of Isandlwana (The Day of the Dead Moon)
Douglas Rattray presents a powerful and immersive account of the Battle of Isandlwana—one of the most dramatic and devastating encounters of the Anglo-Zulu War.
Continuing the storytelling tradition established by his father, David Rattray, Douglas brings to life the human experience of the battlefield: the decisions, the courage, the confusion, and the profound cost of conflict.
