		Improvised though it was, the mission station at Rorke’s Drift was in essence a fort, and despite heroic efforts – and indeed partial success – the Zulu proved in the end incapable of over-running it.
		Special mention should go to Adam Hook for his crisp, clean recreations of the forts as they stood at the time; Rorke’s Drift is here, of course, and so is Khambula, and the Fort Tenedos/Pearson complex on the Thukela mouth.
		There is also a splendid double-page recreation of the fort at Eshowe, with insets detailing the methods of construction, which serves to remind the reader just how impressive the complex was.
