Outdated,

This review is from: The South Wales Borderers (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
This volume should be retired. While the cover might imply things of a "Zulu" nature, the book is a rather mundane & boring history of the regiment from inception to modern times. Pass it by unless you are a glutton for punishment. I assume most readers are searching for Zulu era info....if you are one of these, save your money and buy a different book.

Excellent!!,

This review is from: The South Wales Borderers (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
Great illustrations and text, so if you like this book check out the film "Zulu". It will help you see what I frankly think was the greatest moment of this hard fighting Welsh Regiment which had a lot of good service to its credit besides its time in South Africa.A good addition to ones library.
