History is never presented to us as the definitive finished article. In many cases, it is told from the standpoint of the winner. As a result, our view is often clouded and shaped, as the participants would like events to be remembered. Even the winner's view can have significant detail and testimony missed, even when an honest and truthful account was the desired outcome. It is only by having a total picture that the true significance of the events of the past can be evaluated. 'A British Lion in Zululand' shines more light onto our picture of colonial rule. At times, it is a harsh view but its contribution is important. There is plenty here for everyone. For the general reader it is a fast-paced narrative of adventure in the far-flung corner of the empire. The historian will also find new research that develops the events in South Africa with fantastic detail. It is a testimony to the skill of William Wright that his book will satisfy such a diverse readership. It will become a necessity on the shelf of anyone interested in the way our modern world was shaped.
