Walking the Fugitive’s Trail: Isandlwana

After the British were defeated at the battle of Isandlwana a few hundred survivors made a dash for the Buffalo River in an attempt to escape from the victorious Zulus. Take a walk with me as we explore that story and examine the terrain of the battlefield.

Why did Britain invade Zululand?

Why did Britain invade Zululand instigating one of the most famous of all our colonial wars? In the first of my "5 minute history" series on YouTube I try and answer that question and to put the war into a wider context.

As an aside, I am planning a visit to the battlefields of the Zulu war later this year. I want to focus on the battles of the centre and northern columns - has anybody been and do you have any tips and advice?
