Trapped In Zululand: The Siege That History Forgot (walking the ground)

This is a cracking series Chris explaining so much about this and other battles that get left out from the 2 main ones. Also expertly told as usual.

You'll notice in all the British campaigns in Africa more troops died of disease than from military action.
Then notice how this is not case with the Boers.
You have to be incredibly tough to survive in Africa. The weak are weeded out at a high rate of knots. Real survival of the fittest. The reason the Afrikaaner is so incredibly strong. Who wouldn't be after almost 400 years in Africa!

Not the last time jorunalists would beat the army to the objective. Anzio, a jeep load of them drove into Rome before the Germans bottled up the beach head. And Hemingway and a gaggle of colleagues dashed into Paris and captured a bunch of germans with a "borrowed" tommy gun.

the zulu basically used to be xenophobic nationbalistic nazis and needed to be taught the value of diversity and social progress
