Napoleon: Total War mod Early Access 2011. History shows us that the British were the aggressors while the Zulus were defending their homeland. The school boy was, as you may have guessed, none other than myself. Back then my understanding was both very simple and very wrong, the British Redcoats were the good guys and the Zulu warriors were the bad guys.43 years on and my fascination with the film Zulu has grown into an interest in the Anglo-Zulu war and a much more sophisticated understanding of what occurred. This was the feature film, shown at school as our end of term treat way back in 1972.
A 12 year old boy watched the big screen, enthralled as a small group of British ‘Redcoats’ fought huge numbers of Zulu warriors and won.
