One of the Ratray brothers made a series of tapes a few years ago called "The Day of The Dead Moon" which tells the entire story of the Zulu wars complete with battle sounds and war cries etc. It's expensive (or at least it was when I bought mine) but it's a fabulous story...... but it is very long, so it's best played in the car when you're on a long drive somewhere.

A couple of interesting facts (as I was told them) that are not commonly known is that the Zulu army were under orders to attack Isaldwana but not to cross the river and engage the troops at Rourkes Drift, some miles away......only some of the Zulu army (who felt they had not had sufficient action at the previous battle) disobeyed and therefore it was not the full force that made the attack. The battle also took place the day before a full lunar eclipse, and when the eclipse happened the Zulu's interpreted it as a sign of disapproval from the Gods.... and that's why they finally buggered off the next morning.

It's also why the tapes are called The Day of The Dead Moon.

The Ratray guy (forgotten his first name!) used to do escorted tours around the Zululand battlefields which were truly great, (his family owns the land at either Rourkes Drift or Isaldwana). But has been quite ill for a while and I'm not sure if he's still in circulation.
