Review
Third installment in Osprey's new "Combat" series recaps the principal protagonists of 1879's Anglo-Zulu War. The iconic colonial struggle pitted modern weapons against ancient ones. And it prompted innovations in infantry mobility, protection and firepower. Once more, Peter Dennis' terrific color art offers outstanding figure-painting references. Recommended!
