Lord Chelmsford: The man who lost the Battle of Isandlwana (w/ John Laband)

Om avsnittet

Today I am joined by John Laband, author of a new book about Lord Chelmsford. Chelmsford was the British commander during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879...But was he any good?

I recorded this at the Clash of Empires exhibition currently taking place at the Royal Philatelic Society in London.
