Anotácia knihy

March 1879. Zululand burns, and the fate of the frontier will be decided on the blood-red heights of Kambula.

Second Lieutenant William Blackwood, marches north with the Monmouthshire Fusiliers as Her Majesty's forces prepare to strike a hammer blow against the enemy. Assigned to Colonel Evelyn Wood's elite flying column on the untamed frontier, Blackwood is swept into a relentless campaign of raids, skirmishes, and mountain warfare. Here, loyalty is measured in blood, and every patrol could be a man's last.

From the shattered ridges of Hlobane to the storm-wracked heights of Kambula, Blackwood and his comrades must stand firm against the Zulu tide. On the eve of disaster, surrounded by thousands of warriors and pounded by storm and spear, the battered British laager digs in and prepares for its greatest test. Cannon thunder, redcoats brace at the barricades, and a wall of warriors descends on the hilltop stronghold. What begins as a desperate holding action becomes one of the British Army's proudest victories, a furious stand of red earth, rifle fire, and cold steel against overwhelming odds.

As the flames of war reach their peak, the Empire's colours must not fall. Men will be tested. Comrades will be lost. But Blackwood and the Monmouthshire Fusiliers will not yield.

Last Stand is the second stirring chapter in Blackwood of the Empire, a sweeping historical epic of courage, duty, and honour at the edge of civilisation. In the crucible of battle, amid comrades and carnage, one young officer discovers what it truly means to serve Queen and Country.
