In this episode we discuss the Anglo-Zulu War with battlefield expert, Richard Wyllie. We look at how British imperialism, and specifically the idea of confederation, contributed to the outbreak of the war. Why were the British so interested in South Africa? We discuss the Battle of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift in more detail. Why was Isandlwana called the "Day of the Dead Moon"? Did you know that 11 VCs were awarded to British soldiers following the Battle of Rorke's Drift? We end by considering how the AZW might have affected the history of South Africa.
