Like Wolves on the Fold - Lieutenant Colonel Mike Snook

The remore hospital mission at Rorke’s Drift, Zululand, has become synonymous with one of the most gallant and determined defences in the history of the British Army, Here, on 22 January 1879, a single company of the 24th Regiment, along with a few dozen recuperating patients, fought off a ferocious attack by more chan 4,500 Zulu warriors who had earlier that day helped decimate the British expeditionary force at Isandwana.

Following on from his highly acclaimed How Can Man Die Better: The Secrets of Isandlwana Revealed, Colonel Mike Snook provides a riveting, fresh interpretation of events in this unique account that is set to redefine our understanding of the battle, as well as the subsequent course of the Anglo-Zulu War. Highly illustrated with maps, photographs and artwork, Like Wolves on the Fold: The Defence of Rorkes Drift bears compelling testimony to the heroic 24th and the formidable Zulu.
