Hi Adrian,

yes, it is the same book, also published in the same year; very good book and keeps you riveted until you reach the end....

Iain

New book aquired last Sunday, just wonder if anyone has read it and can offer a review.
Ladysmith by Ruari Chisholm first published in 1979 by Osprey Publishing.
Started reading last night and it seems a good book.

Thought I would review my own book!
Currently on the third chapter and finding it one of the most informative books I have read up to now, hope it continues in the next chapters.

Keep us posted Paul, most of what I've read about Ladysmith was part of a more general story and so they dont dwell too long on the actual seige.
I particularly like the assault on gun hill and the defence of Wagon hill.
