A Bloody Night: The Irish at Rorke's Drift Harvey Dan
The word Zulu means 'heaven, ' but for the suddenly besieged British garrison at Rorke's Drift, it represented a hellish horde of warriors from the Zulu nation. The battle, a defining clash in the 1879 Anglo-Zulu war, was a bare struggle for survival; the deeds and heroics of the Irish soldiers, subdued within the grand narrative, were no less exceptional than that of their English counterparts. A Bloody Night documents the terrifying struggle of these Irishmen as thousands of poorly armed but well-trained Zulus unexpectedly hurled themselves in a deadly onslaught against their hastily barricaded trading station and mission hospital.
The defense of Rorke's Drift is a tale of courage in adversity against impossible odds; the little-known but significant role of these Irishmen is all the more intriguing for its unheralded Dan Harvey brings examples of their sheer resilience to the fore.
