His account of the three months he spent with the British High Command, to which Prince Louis Napoleon was seconded, was published in French 125 years ago.This translation from the original ("Trois Mois Chez les Zoulous") brings to life an extraordinary piece of history. It provides a unique and intimate picture of the last few months in the life of the French Prince Imperial, before his death by assegai in a lonely valley in Africa. |
