Rorke's Drift: The True Story is a revelatory account that strips away the accumulated layers of imperial 'spin' to reveal a story of dogged courage on both sides, of desperate horror, of political and press manipulation, and of tragedy and dispossession factors which sit uneasily with the enduring images of glory.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
