Send me a messageBecome A PatronMake A DonationDid the film Zulu get it wrong?In the 1964 epic, Lieutenant Gert Adendorff rides into Rorke's Drift with dire news of the disaster at Isandlwana. He explains Zulu tactics, warns of the impending attack—and when asked if he'll stay to fight, replies:“Is there anywhere else to go?”But just a year later, Donald Morris's classic book The Washing of the Spears claimed he fled—not once, but twice. Ever since, Adendorff has been caught in a storm of controversy.Was he a deserter who abandoned his men?Or was he the only man to survive Isandlwana and then stand alongside Chard and Bromhead to help defend Rorke's Drift?In this documentary, we investigate the mystery behind Gert Adendorff. Using eyewitness accounts, official reports, and modern research, we ask why history has treated him so harshly—especially when regular British officers who fled to Helpmekaar were never questioned.This is the forgotten story of the man who may have fought in both of the Anglo-Zulu War's most famous battles.The Battle of IsandlwanaSupport the show

La batalla de Rorke's Drift, en enero de 1879, fue un enfrentamiento menor pero convenientemente magnificado por los británicos para paliar, en cierta medida, la humillante derrota que sufrieron unas horas antes en Isandlwana, durante los primeros compases de la Guerra Anglo-Zulú. Para hablar con detalle de este hecho histórico, de la situación estratégica y del conflicto en general, Franjo entrevistará a Javier Veramendi, director de Historia Contemporánea de la editorial Desperta Ferro. Esta escaramuza de Rorke's Drift, que a pesar de la escala no dejaba de ser una hazaña militar, está muy bien representada en una de las mejores películas bélicas realizadas hasta la fecha: Zulú, estrenada en 1964. Para hacer una reseña extensa y detallada de la película, tenemos a Albert Galdor, Eligio R. Montero, David G. Relloso y Javier Veramendi. Y para analizar el juego Zulus on the Ramparts de Victory Point Games, una de las mejores simulaciones que existen sobre esta batalla, contaremos con David G. Relloso y con Franjo, quienes harán, cómo no, el necesario homenaje a Alan Emrich, el fundador y alma mater de Victory Point Games, fallecido recientemente.

Send me a messageAmid the chaos of the British defeat at Isandlwana on January 22, 1879, 22-year-old Private Samuel Wassall of the 80th Regiment displayed extraordinary bravery. As the Zulu warriors overran the British camp, Wassall, already escaping on horseback, spotted a fellow soldier struggling in the raging Buffalo River, desperately trying to flee the massacre. Without hesitation, Wassall turned back, dismounted under enemy fire, and pulled his comrade from the torrent, placing him on his horse before swimming to safety himself. For his selfless act of courage, he was awarded the Victoria Cross, the only recipient from the disastrous battle.More of my podcasts about the Anglo Zulu War 1879The Battle of IsandlwanaSaving the Queen's Colour - the Epic Ride of Coghill & MelvillPrisoner of the ZulusSupport the show by:Becoming a PatronBuy me a CoffeeSupport the show

Confiados, creen que su principal problema será atraer a sus enemigos hacia una batalla campal decisiva, ya que esperan que se diseminen por el territorio en una molesta guerrilla. No podrían estar más equivocados. Las tropas de Chelmsford, cumpliendo las aspiraciones del comisionado Frere, esperaban una rápida victoria. Lo que se encontraron fue con la resistencia de un pueblo guerrero y tenaz que les hizo pagar caras algunas de sus victorias, y humillarles con varias sonadas derrotas. Los ecos de la anglo-zulú siguen llegando a nuestros días, generando tanta fascinación como incomprensión. Desgranaremos la guerra paso a paso, batalla a batalla.

On the 22nd January 1879 in South Africa, the British suffered the greatest defeat ever inflicted upon them by a native African army - when a force of 1,500 was annihilated by the Zulus during the Anglo-Zulu war.Get in touch and get my weekly newsletter:Click hereChelmsford was quick to lay the blame for the defeat at Isandlwana on anyone but himself.Equally it could not be the fault of the redecorated infantry.So rather than Pullene being held to account for spreading his troops out too thinly 3 myths were planted as to who was to blame.NNC collapsed at crucial momentDurnford didn't take commandCommisariat delayed ammo supply but quibbling and screwdrivers.Not only do these myths obscure Chelmsford culpability in dividing his force and Pulleine's decision to spread his line too thinly and not create any entrenched positions.It ignores something more important.That they British had been out manoeuvred and out fought by an enemy with spears and shields.The Zulus had successfully fooled Chelmsford into dividing their force. They had moved 25,000 undetected to the north. They then delivered a horns of the buffalo attack over a 4 mile front and despite one of the horns going behind the mountain they had timed the devastating attack perfectly.Finally, despite the withering fire laid down by the experienced British redcoats, the Zulu warriors had held their nerve and pressed home their attack, inspired by the Chief Biyela.Support the Show.

In this episode on the Zulu nation, we discuss Cetshwayo's violent march to the Zulu throne, his cozying up to the British as a bulwark against the Boers, and then the inexplicable events that thrust his people into a war with England.

The Sepoys on the Western Front…often praised - sometimes derided. Were they lions in the trenches or did they fail the big test against the Germans? Were they terrified by artillery, did a huge number deliberately wound themselves, and could they operate without command and control from their British officers? These are all thorny questions and ones which we will be examining closely today. To discuss the topic I am joined by friend of the show David Snape. He has written a book called A Tiger Loose on an Ice Floe - all about the Ferozepore Brigade on the Western Front in 1914-15.

The Zulu nation as we remember it was forged in a world of upheaval under the leadership of the intelligent, dynamic, and ruthless king Shaka Kasenzangakhona. Shaped by the tumultuous events known as the Mfecane, Shaka imposed and maintained a new order on his world by the force of his will, his innovative military tactics, and his brutal efficiency.  After he was brought down by the assassin's spears, he was followed on the Zulu throne in succession by two half brothers. Their reigns would collide in what many Zulus today  remember as the moment the nation's soul began to break.Join us in this episode for a fascinating journey through the reigns of these three Zulu kings.Don't forget to like and subscribe!

It had all been going so well. The Congress of Berlin had been a huge success, allowing Disraeli (and Salisbury) to bring back peace with honour. Things should have been flowing the Conservatives' way. But then there were a couple of bad military adventures, launched by over-powerful and out-of-control colonial administrators. Both ended up costing a lot of money and a lot of lives, for little gain. One, the Second Anglo-Afghan War, was even launched from India while a famine that eventually cost 8 million lives was raging and relief budgets were being cut to save money, although funds were being poured into waging war. At the same time, the British economy was doing badly, with a recession and bad harvests. That all added up to a rather bleaker picture for the Conservatives than their successes might have implied. This episode also introduces three people we'll be hearing more about later, and who had significant moments in the 1870s (in one case, the moment was birth, a pretty significant event, without which it's hard for anyone to make a name for themselves).     Illustration: Graveyard at Isandlwana, site of Britain's worst defeat in a colonial war since the American War of Independence.

The Battle of Rorke's Drift (1879), also known as the Defence of Rorke's Drift, was an engagement in the Anglo-Zulu War. The successful British defence of the mission station of Rorke's Drift, under the command of Lieutenants John Chard of the Royal Engineers and Gonville Bromhead, 24th Regiment of Foot began when a large contingent of Zulu warriors broke off from their main force during the final hour of the British defeat at the day-long Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879, diverting 6 miles (9.7 km) to attack Rorke's Drift later that day and continuing into the following day.

W drugiej połowie XIX wieku ziemie Zulusów stały się celem brytyjskiej ekspansji kolonialnej. Plan był prosty. Pokonać zacofanych tubylców korzystając z lepiej wyszkolonych żołnierzy oraz nowoczesnego uzbrojenia. Przewaga broni palnej nad prymitywnymi włóczniami miała zagwarantować Brytyjczykom szybkie zwycięstwo. Tak się jednak nie stało, a bitwa pod Isandlwaną zakończyła się najbardziej spektakularną klęską brytyjskiej armii w Afryce. Ich starcie z armią Zulusów pokazało, że nawet najgorzej uzbrojony przeciwnik może okazać się groźny, jeśli się go nie doceni.

Underdogs - Part 2 Welcome to a special bonus episode of Season 3, where we collaborate with our good friends at A Brother's Creed for some more conversation and commentary.

Into the Cannon's Mouth: The Archaeology of Infantry Charges at Culloden and IsandlwanaIn this talk, the brilliant conflict archaeologist Professor Tony Pollard adopts a forensic approach to dissect the Jacobite charge at Culloden (1746) and that by the Zulus at Isandlwana (1879). Using the results of archaeological investigations the two are compared and contrasted and the factors that influenced Jacobite defeat and Zulu victory examined.

In analysing the myths of a Western way of war, historian of colonial warfare and iconoclast Professor Tarak Barkawi from the London School of Economics talks to Peter Roberts about commonalities in the vocation of war between militaries. Using examples as diverse as the battles of Isandlwana and Kunu-ri in Korea, Tarak explains how others might view the Western way of war – specifically, through the prism of defeats rather than victories.

THE BATTLE OF ISANDLWANAThe Battle of Isandlwana in 1879 was one of the most devastating defeats suffered by Britain at the hands of local inhabitants. The incredible Douglas Rattray explains the battle from both sides, highlighting the courage of the desperate British soldiers and the gallantry of the proud Zulu warriors. Our Eurocentric understanding of this titanic clash has, for years, been that of a British blunder but was it, in fact, a great Zulu victory?

A byword for tenacity and courage, the famous last stand has studded history with legendary exploits that define conflict and empire.  From Thermopylae to the Alamo, from Custer’s last stand to Okinawa, they represent individual heroism and sometimes crass military miscalculation.  The result is always the same, the wiping out of a small group of die-hard defenders.The odds might be crazy, and catastrophe might ensue, yet as the explosion at the British Army magazine near Delhi in 1857 proved, the consequences can reverberate down the years.  So, whether its FUBAR or SNAFU, or just desperate men fighting like ‘rats in a sack’ to quote a senior British Officer after Rorke’s Drift, we remember many of them.  And whether for PR purposes or to deflect attention from wider disasters, they do not diminish the bravery of those involved.So it GoesTom Assheton & James Jackson Ref.Thomas Babington Macaulay, Horatius, Lays of Ancient Rome See also:YouTube: BloodyViolentHistoryhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodyviolenthistory/https://www.jamesjacksonbooks.comhttps://www.tomtom.co.uk If you enjoy the podcast, would you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify or Google Podcast App?

Inko Martín nos presenta "El imperio zulú", un libro que nos permite conocer la guerra que enfrentó a los zulúes contra los casacas rojas de la reina Victoria....

The Anglo – Zulu wars, a clash between the might of the British Empire with the African Zulu Kingdom, began in 1879.In 1874, Sir Henry Bartle Frere was appointed High Commissioner for Southern Africa. His mission was to bring the various African kingdoms, tribal areas, and Boer Republics together under British rule, modelled after the policy which brought the various states within Canada together under one political and military control. He was opposed by several forces, mainly the various independent Boer states, and the Zulu Kingdom, with its vast army.In order to bring the region and its tribes together under as part of the British Empire, Frere decided to go to war with the Zulu Kingdom. Working on his own, without the backing of his government, Frere issued an ultimatum to the Zulu King Cetshwayo on 11 December 1878. The demands proved impossible to comply with, and war was declared. The British forces, led by Lord Chelmsford, invaded Zululand. Many battles ensued, including a stunning Zulu victory at Isandlwana, and the near-collapse of the garrison at Rorke's Drift. However, in the end, the British were triumphant. The Zulu Nation would no longer be independent.The podcast is under an hour, brief but informative and the history hit you are looking for.Please review!

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.

The long awaited battle of Isandlwana, The British Empire marches forth into the interior of Zululand in 1879 and clashes in a meeting encounter with the massed regiments of Zulu warriors that shocks the Empire to its core

"Para sentirse mal hay que estar vivo". Teniente Chard. Dos tenientes con visiones opuestas, el teniente Chard, un ingeniero al mando, testarudo y tenaz (brillante Stanley Baker y su mandíbula cuadrada), y el teniente Bromhead, de maneras aristocráticas, con criados, sable, y capa (Michael Caine en sus primeros trabajos). Chard llegó allí para construir un puente, el militar poco podía imaginar lo que acababa de ocurrir a pocas millas, en la batalla de Isandlwana el imperio británico sufrió unos de sus peores castigos. 1500 casacas rojas cayeron en las montañas sudafricanas a manos de las tropas zulúes. Pocas horas después de esta masacre, lanzas y azagayas chocarán contra fusiles y cañones en la plaza fuerte del barranco de Rorke. El Boer Adendorf, holandés, lleva más tiempo que los británicos en el sur de África, conoce mejor a los guerreros de los escudos de piel de vaca, y avisa. Atacarán en tandas sucesivas. La estrategia del búfalo. Sobre la tierra los cuernos, la testuz y el lomo, avanzan por las laderas para rodear a la guarnición. En el horizonte los rayos del sol parpadean sobre una línea interminable de puntos amenazantes. Retumba cada vez más atronadora la voz grave del pueblo orgulloso, los golpes de las lanzas, los mazos, y los escudos. Aquí, aunque parezca lo contrario a primera vista, no se glorifica el colonialismo. Cy Einfeld y su guionista John Prebble muestran la humanidad de los asediados, las peculiaridades de cada personaje, el aterrado reverendo y su hija, huyendo de la misión despavoridos, el cocinero que no sabe utilizar un arma, el esforzado sargento, el médico que interviene a los heridos mientras los zulúes entran por las ventanas, el soldado gandul que se redime salvando a sus compañeros. Los cadáveres de los nativos se amontonan y el inexperto teniente Bromville, que al principio califica a los nativos de negros cobardes, cambiará su arrogancia por vergüenza ante la matanza perpetrada. La angustia de unos tipos que en su fuero interno comparten la certeza de la muerte segura, 4000 guerreros se acercan a través de campo abierto. La despedida Zulú en en el barranco de Rorke, regado de su sangre, infestado de sus propios hermanos muertos, no ocurrió en la realidad, y sin embargo cumple su función catártica. Un cantante galés responde, ellos tienen buenos bajos pero nosotros tenemos mejores tenores. El duelo de cantos sobrecoge. Los guerreros reconocen el valor de una guarnición que se ha defendido con tesón. No eran imprescindibles, la mayoría de esos hombres no saldrán mencionados en los libros de historia, como el escuadrón de Robert Montgomery y John Wayne que retrató John Ford en el Pacífico. Años después Douglas Hickcox plasmaría la sangrienta batalla de Isandhlwana en Amanecer Zulú, esta vez con Burt Lancaster y Peter O´Toole.

CliffCentral.com — History is alive and well, more than ever before. Musician, historian and Masters student Mbuso Khoza believes this - as does the Joburg Theatre... as both powerhouses are behind the second edition of the Isandlwana Battle Musical Lecture. As the founder of Value of Culture, he explains to Gareth why it is important to him to put a show like this together, and excitedly takes him down the chain of events at Isandlwana that prove just how rich the Zulu culture is in history.

This episode is the foreruner of the battle of Isandlwana and Roukes Drift where we explore the events to lead to the day of 13 Victoria Cross being awarded.

In Episode 6 we examine the final chapter of the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879. After a series of defeats at Isandlwana, Ntombe Drift and Hlobane mountain the British are finally ready to turn the tables and launch a fresh invasion of Zululand. This time they have the manpower, the weaponry and the will to steam-roller King Cetswayo and his already battered army - but can they do it?    Don't forget to visit www.redcoathistory.com for more background info and the show notes and also to follow me on Instagram where I am @redcoathistory. 

The battle of Isandlwana fought on the 22nd of January 1879, is one of the most discussed and written about engagements in the history of the British army. We British do love a glorious defeat and the battle certainly falls into that category. It's a difficult battle for the historian - disjointed and confused with few first-hand accounts to help us.  As Keith Smith says:  “Isandlwana is the most impenetrable engagement to comprehend because all of the major European participants lost their lives. Had Colonel Durnford, Lietuentant-Colonel Pulleine or even Lieutenant Melvill survived, then the story of the events of that dreadful day would now be easier to tell. But they did not, and it is thus no accident that this battle engages us still.”  Welcome to episode 2 of the Redcoat history podcast with me Christian Parkinson – I'm a filmmaker, photographer and battlefield explorer who has a passion for the history of the British army – a passion that I'm desperate to share.

It’s over a decade since David Rattray was murdered at his famous Fugitives Drift Lodge. Historian Rattray was a masterful storyteller whose tales of the 1879 Anglo Zulu War, and particularly the historic battles of Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift, built him a global following that attracted packed houses, especially in London. The obvious successor to the famous Rattray is chartered accountant turned storyteller Michael Charton, who works off a wider canvass, but like his fellow South African, specialises in forgotten stories drawn from the troubled history of his homeland. Charton, whose events at home are booked out months in advance, will be addressing London audiences for the first time this month. His first event was sold out within 24 hours. The second one, on Tuesday 30th October, is filling up fast. I caught up with Charton to tap him on another fascinating topic, the story of Second World War fighter pilot Sailor Malan, a war hero written out of history by the apartheid government.

It's 1879, it's South Africa, and Britain fancies nicking another bit of the world that don't belong to her. In what is fast becoming the fourth episode of the CB-Wallop podcast, join comedians Phil Lucas and Phil Jerrod as they discuss THE BATTLE OF ISANDLWANA - the campaign everyone forgot we'd lost becasue we were too busy cheering on Michael Caine and our plucky boys over at Rorke's Drift. Did they all get drastically killed in the neck with a pointy spear? Gor Blimey yes they did.

GG Alcock's family was introduced to the world by the great South African author Rian Malan in the final chapter of his best seller My Traitor's Heart. This week Alcock's own book, the autobiographical Third World Child, hit the bookshops. It is fresh, authentic and a brutally honest account of a South Africa which is mostly hidden from public view. In this fascinating interview with Biznews.com's Alec Hogg, GG Alcock tells some of his story, including a little known tale around the 1879 Battle of Isandlwana, and shares why he has hope for a country that few popular pundits really know. A country he knows deeply, intimately as only a 100% White Zulu Boy might do.
