As the mighty British empire forced the region South Africa into war, the fame Zulu nation, first formed under the brilliant yet cruel Shaka-Zulu, inflicted the first blow---a devastating massacre which shook the entire world to its core. The next day, a small garrison at Rorke’s Drift felt the onslaught of the Zulu army and in one of history’s most famous “last stands”, the defenders managed to hold off the Zulus and were awarded more Victorian Crosses than any previous battle in British history.This is the story of those two battles…one that proved Britian was no longer invincible and the other, which led to the demise of the Zulu Empire.
