They fell like stones--each man in his place  exclaimed a Zulu warrior after the battle. The Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 has never ceased to hold the attention of military enthusiast and layman alike. In this detailed work of reference  John Young presents not only an authoritative survey of the war  from its causes to its conclusion  but after years of painstaking research presents complete details of the composition of the British forces for each major engagement together with full casualty lists of killed and wounded on the British side  both officers and men  and provides estimates of the Zulu casualties. The author also includes citations for honours awarded. The stark casualty lists  side by side with the dramatic narrative of what happened at Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift through to the capture of King Cetshwayo  make for a vivid and telling reconstruction of this ever-fascinating campaign  with its tragedies and its triumphs  and its speedy reversals of fortune. Copiously illustrated with numerous pictures of the people involved  and providing definitive military statistics  They Fell Like Stones is indispensable for students of Victorian military history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45951533252661,"sku":"ByrdShop_1853670960","price":96.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781853670961.jpg?v=1788112361","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/they-fell-like-stones-battles-and-casualties-of-the-zulu-war-1879-9781853670961","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
