The Anglo-Zulu War was one of many colonial campaigns in which the British Army served as the instrument of British imperialism. The conflict, fought against a native adversary the British initially under-estimated, is remarkable for battles that included perhaps the most humiliating defeat in British military history-the Battle of Isandlwana, January 22, 1879-and one of its most heroic feats of martial arms-the defense of Rorke's Drift, January 22-23, 1879. While lasting only six months, it is one of the most examined, studied, and debated conflicts in Victorian military history. Anglo-Zulu War, 1879: A Selected Bibliography is a research guide and tool for identifying obscure publications and source materials in order to encourage continued original and thought-provoking contributions to this popular field of historical study. From the student or neophyte to the study of the Anglo-Zulu War, its battles, and its opponents to the more experienced historian or scholar, this selected bibliography is a must for anyone interested in the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War.

Over the past decades wartime Poland has received considerable attention from Anglo-American historians, with hundreds of works being published on Poland's role in World War II. Yet this copious material has lacked comprehensive bibliographic coverage. This book fills that gap, providing a quick source of information for researchers looking for English-language sources. Addressing diverse aspects of Poland's role in the war, the book contains sources on causes of the war, its course, and military, diplomatic, and legal concerns. Emphasizing the social impact of the war, the book discusses the occupation, the Holocaust, the consequences of the war and the Polish question. Included are works that set the issues in a broader international context and that present all sides of the argument. The first bibliography of its kind, this work includes over 350 significant English-language monographs, books, book chapters, and government documents published from 1940 to 1996. The book is a practical reference guide for researchers interested in the European aspects of World War II.
