Rorke's Drift sums up some of the best traditions of the British self-image:
steadfastness against the odds, victory in adversity, and the thin red line. The British stand deserves to go down in history as one of the most heroic actions of all time. The story of a mere 150 British and Imperial soldiers defending an isolated outpost against over 3,000 Zulu warriors summed up the experience of the colonial adventure for the Victorians. Ian Knight recounts the course of this famous conflict in which no less than eleven Victoria Crosses for gallantry were won.
