Thanks to newly discovered letters and documents, A Handful of Heroes updates the history of the defense of Rorke’s Drift, which will forever be one of the most celebrated British feats of arms.
Remarkably, after such prolonged historical scrutiny, the author’s research proves that there is yet more to discover about this famous incident of the Zulu War 1879 and her superbly researched book reveals a number of myths that have distorted what happened during the gallant defense of the small Mission Station. For example, it transpires that the isolated outpost was already well prepared for an attack by experts in field defense.
