On 22 January 1879 a British invasion column was destroyed at Isandlwana in Zululand by a Zulu army of more than twenty thousand men. This is the full story of that day: the ultimatum written to be refused, the army that had trained for fifty years, the camp that was never fortified, the general who marched away with half his force, and the six hours it took to end him. The British had breech-loading rifles, artillery and the largest empire on earth. By sunset, roughly thirteen hundred of them were dead and the camp was gone. Both sides are shown here as what they were: professional, disciplined and dangerous. No verdict is offered on the empire. What happened is enough.

They are composites, built from what men in those positions carried, wore and did. They are not named individuals and no claim is made about any specific person.
