Interest in
KwaZulu-Nataľs
battlefields
-
especially those of the Anglo-
Zulu War
-
has soared since the film Zulu first screened in
1964,
followed by Zulu Dawn in
1979
(the centenary of the Anglo-Zulu
War). During the centenary, the famous battlefields of Isandlwana and
Rorke s Drift were made tourist-friendly by the then Natal Provincial
Administration and controls were put in place by the heritage authorities
to prevent relics from being plundered. Supported by effective marketing
from the Battlefield Route Association and the KwaZulu-Natal
Provincial Tourism Authority, the battlefields have become a must-see.
Indeed, Rorke s Drift has become a tourist icon. Specialist battlefield
guides have been trained and are considered to be among the best
in the world. New hotels and lodges have been built with battlefield
tourism resulting in the creation of an estimated
7,500
permanent jobs
in what is termed the Battlefield Region.
There are, of course, many more Anglo-Zulu War sites to be seen:
Discovering the Battlefields will enable visitors to find them and to read
an account that is not too lengthy yet has sufficient content to bring it to
life. GPS co-ordinates will enable those wishing to undertake a journey
of exploration. The book is also a useful training manual for prospective
battlefield guides. Above all, however, the author shares his knowledge
gleaned from over
50
years of researching the Anglo-Zulu War. He has
blended first-hand accounts passed on from participants on both sides
to subsequent generations with official or newly-researched information
that has become available in recent years. It is written in a style
that is neither technical nor dramatic, is extensively illustrated with
photographs of personalities and places and includes comprehensive
maps of all the battle sites.
