How Can Man Die Better is a fresh and unique analysis of the Battle of Isandlwana of the weapons, the tactics, the ground, and of the intriguing characters who made the key military decisions. Because the fatal loss was so high on the British side there is still much that is unknown about the battle until now. Mike Snook is the first military professional to scrutinize the battle in print since 1879. He has an unparalleled grasp of the nuances of the ground at Isandlwana and of their implications in practical military terms. Most compellingly he has a truly instinctive feel for the characters who forged the supremely dramatic history of which he writes, for this is family' history the battle was fought by officers and soldiers of the author's own regiment. This is a work of unparalleled depth, which eschews the commonly held perception that the British collapse was sudden and that the 24th Regiment was quickly overwhelmed. Rather, there was a protracted and heroic defence against a determined and equally heroic foe. This is the story of those men and the brave warriors who killed them. By any standard it is a tale of extraordinary drama.' It was to become the stuff of legend, which the author brings to life so vividly that one can almost sense the fear and smell the blood.
