The Battle of Ulundi: Culmination of the Anglo-Zulu War
May 11 @ 09:00 - May 12 @ 17:00
The NHSA is delighted to welcome Ian Knight as our speaker for an event in which we study the battle of Ulundi, the final major engagement in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. Ian is internationally regarded as the current leading authority on the nineteenth-century history of the Zulu kingdom, and in particular the Anglo-Zulu War.
He has been researching and writing on the subject for more than thirty years, publishing such acclaimed works as “Zulu Rising: The Epic Story of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift” and “Brave Men’s Blood: The Epic of the Zulu War”. His The National Army Museum Book of the Zulu War was joint winner of the Royal United Services’ Institute Award for ‘Best Military History Book’. Ian is an Honorary Research Associate of the KwaZulu-Natal Museum in Pietermaritzburg. The talk will take place at the NHSA on Saturday 11 May 2024 at 2 pm.
