Zulu concerns the true, often referenced story of a British supply station that found itself under attack by Zulu warriors in 1870s in the scorching hot African terrain. The warriors’ number was 4000 strong, and they moved from one British post to the next, in an effort to rid their country of unwanted foreigners. The British encampment that finally held them off consisted of only 139 men, who knew that the warriors were coming when they discovered that a neighboring army encampment, consisting of around 1400 British soldiers, had been slaughtered by the tribesmen. Fearing the worst, the small encampment waited for the Zulu warriors to come, and when they finally did, the battle lasted for twelve hours before they fought to a standstill, and the African warriors eventually retreated. |
