Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Lord Chelmsford's Zululand Campaign. 1878-1879. Lightened spine to D/J. Thousands of documents relating to Chelmsford's direction of the Anglo-Zulu War survive. The 116 documents selected for this volume all emante from the General himself, rather than his many correspondents. Chelmsford thus speaks for himself, exposing his plans, decisions, problems and disputes to the closes critical assessment. The documents cover all key aspects of his conduct of the campaign including his strategic planning, tactical intentions, logisitical problems, inadequate field intelligence, and conflicts with both local civil authorites and his superiors in England. The inescapable conclusion must be that there was much in Chelmsford's generalship to criticise, and little to command.
