The dust rose like smoke : the subjugation of the Zulu and the Sioux

In 1876 Sioux and Cheyenne warriors annihilated Custer's Seventh Cavalry on the Little Bighorn. Three years later and half a world away, a British force was wiped out by Zulu warriors in South Africa. In both cases the total defeat of regular army troops stunned an imperial nation. This work scrutinizes them in a comparative context.
