Description: Custer and the Sioux, Durnford and the Zulus : Parallels in the American and British Defeats at the Little Bighorn (1876) and Isandlwana (1879), Paperback by Williams, Paul, ISBN 0786497947, ISBN-13 9780786497942, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK Williams compares and contrasts Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and his defeat in 1876, at the Little Bighorn, with British Lt. Col. Anthony W. Durnford, who, in 1879, tore a page from Custer’s playbook with the obvious results: death, annihilation of his troops (in his case in the hinterlands of Zulu Country), and a ruined reputation. Twelve chapters are: their land is ours; deception and deceit; the impossible ultimatum; the three-column plan; the three-column advance; the divided command; the last man, the last bullet; besieged; finding the dead and the living; so who was to blame?; the fading comet; aftermath.
