CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: "Presents first-hand, eye-witness accounts and reminiscences by participants in the Anglo-Zulu War. Many officers who fought in the war wrote memoirs later in their careers and these books have long been sought after as first-hand source material. Most have been out of print for many years and are collectors' items, and yet all are of vital importance to the understanding of this fascinating conflict. Now, Ian Knight, author of Brave Men's Blood, the most comprehensive account of the war yet published, has carefully selected the most interesting and important Zulu war reminiscences in one volume. The extracts range from the recollections of commanding officers life Colonel Evelyn Wood, to leading officers, such as Hamilton-Browne, Harrison, Bengough, Greenfell, and less figures such as Smith-Dorrien, who nonetheless had fascinating stories to tell. There are accounts of great battles, such as Isandwana, Hlobane, Khambula and Ulundi, all vividly evoked by eye-witnesses, as well as minor incidents and scares, and the drudgery of day to day campaigning: even a little of the humor of camp life is included. In each case Ian Knight has linked and evaluated the accounts, and provided a brief outline of each soldier's career and his role in the war. The result is a vivid picture of the Anglo-Zulu war as it seemed to the men who fought it, an entertaining read for the general reader and an essential reference for serious students of the war."

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. London: Greenhill Books / Stackpole Books, (Mechansburg), (1995). First Edition. 8vo. 224pp, Index, Bibliography. 80 illustrations, 13 maps. Green boards, spine letters gilt. Fine condition, in near fine dj (short tear). The British engagement at Hlobane, the only one of the war fought entirely as a mounted force, result in their slaughter, but survivors defeated the Zulu's the following day, leaving 1,000 Zulu dead on the Zunguin Plain. ISBN 1853672017; 13 maps, 80 illustrations; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 224 pages.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. The Zulu stronghold of Hlobane ('the painted Mountain') dominated a vast area of disputed land in northern Natal. It was the scene of a terrible reverse for the British, but at Kambula the next day they inflicted an even more catastrophic defeat upon the Zulus. The Zulus never fully recovered from this repulse, and it marked the turning point in the war. The slaughter at Hlobane was second only to that at Isandlwana two months earlier, which ravaged morale in the British Army. This was in part responsible for the highly questionable conduct of some of the officers when faced with the enemy at Hlobane, leading to the British rout at Devil's Pass. Without defeat at Hlobane, however, victory at Kambula might not have been possible: the warriors of the leading Zulu regiments, over-confident after their resounding success, were easily provoked into an ill-judged attack on the enemy camp at Kambula, and exhausted themselves before the British survivors of the previous day's battle set out in pursuit, leaving 1,000 Zulu dead on the Zunguin Plain. Ron Lock examines Hlobane as the only engagement of the war that the British fought entirely as a mounted force (although supported by Swazi foot auxiliaries). The Colonial horsemen of Colonel Evelyn Wood's No. 4 Column at Hlobane, local volunteers almost to a man, fought daringly but received little credit for their sacrifices on behalf of the British Empire. In Britain the shattering defeat was quickly passed over, the deaths of the local volunteers going mostly unmourned and the news immediately superseded by victory at Kambula. Using a wealth of new evidence drawn from a wide variety of sources, Ron Lock ensures that praise and blame are now fairly apportioned, in this gripping account of a vital part of the Anglo-Zulu War.

The word Gestapo still conjures up the overpowering images of horror and dread that it aroused in Europe before and during the Second World War and at Nuremberg when the truth of its terrible tortures, massacres and attempts at genocide was revealed. But what went on within the organisation itself? Here, Edward Crankshaw provides an authoritative study of the structure of the Gestapo, of its bitter rivalries with other police and service organisations, of its struggle for power, and of its leading personalities. He traces, too, how the Gestapo grew as an instrument of the Nazi police state under Himmler, who also controlled the SS; it ran side by side with the intelligence service, the SD, under Himmler's deputy Heydrich. The Gestapo grew even more powerful on the outbreak of war, as its tentacles spread all over the Occupied countries, using agents and local collaborators to undermine native resistance, using torture and death mercilessly to deter civilian populations from rising against their conquerors, and filling the concentration camps with fodder for mass extermination policies. Crankshaw details the known crimes of the Gestapo, showing its underlying responsibility in incidents of horrific dimensions where the chain of culpability has remained unclear. At Nuremberg the Gestapo was indicted as a criminal organisation, and its leaders war criminals. Edward Crankshaw, who in World War II was attached to the British Military Mission in Moscow, and afterwards, for over twenty years, was the highly regarded Correspondent on Soviet Affairs for the London Observer, examines in this valuable study the whole question of the Nazis' responsibility for crimes against humanity: was Nazi oppression a unique occurrence, or could such events happen again either in Germany or elsewhere? Gestapo: Instrument of Tyranny is a serious and comprehensive study of the development and use of evil in society, a sober revelation of the past and a warning for the future.
