This series explores the facts and investigates the truth behind the British Redcoat Army's campaign in Zululand during 1879. The war was started by a country at the height of it's imperial powers and prosecuted by an army charged with the responsibility of implementing a policy known as Confederation - a proposal to unite various black and white factions in South Africa under British authority. Interviews, on location footage and new geological surveys all help to reconstruct the conflicts and give insight into the tactics used in these epic battles.

**Part 2: The Washing of the Spears**

The appalling disaster at Isandlwana was received with horror in Britain and the Government did all it could to maximise the news of the momentous events at Rorke's Drift.
