The Battle of Isandlwana, A Talk by Douglas Rattray
Experience a vivid, moving account of the Battle of Isandlwana from both the English and Zulu perspectives. Douglas Rattray—son of the internationally renowned Anglo-Zulu War expert David Rattray—brings the courage of desperate soldiers and the gallantry of proud Zulu warriors to life, capturing the events of 22 January 1879 with passion and brilliant storytelling.
Anyone who has heard Douglas speak on the battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift knows his deep knowledge, passion, and wonderful ability to captivate an audience.
Douglas Rattray, from Fugitives’ Drift Lodge near the Anglo-Zulu War battlefields in South Africa, continues his father’s legacy with authority and warmth.
