The Noise of Zulu Battle

by Malcolm Archibald

Book 1 in the The Soldier’s Son series.

Buy the book from:

South Africa, 1877. Andrew Baird, son of the celebrated Jack Windrush, hopes to escape his father’s reputation and establish a life of his own. As British and Zulu relations collapse into war, personal loss and the abduction of a woman close to him draw Andrew into the brutal campaigns of 1879.

The novel begins a second generation of military fiction while treating the Anglo-Zulu War as more than a proving ground for a British officer. Zulu resistance, colonial politics and the vulnerability of civilians force Andrew to confront both his inherited assumptions and the consequences of military ambition.
