The Death of The Prince Imperial written and narrated by JOHN JULIUS NORWICH
In the summer of 1879 the much-loved son of the Emperor Napoleon III went out with the British army to fight against the Zulus. Ambushed outside a Zulu kraal, the Prince Imperial, heir to the throne of France, was hacked to death by Zulu assegai. The man court-martialled for allowing this atrocity was a Lieutenant Carey. Victorian England was shocked by the death and even more so by the establishment's attempt to make Carey a scapegoat.
The precise events leading up to that fatal day are re-told at the very place in Zululand and the transcript of the court martial, only recently available to the public, is used to dramatise extracts from the trial-and reveal the dramatic outcome.

After 30 years of working as a monk in isolated parts of India, SWAMI BHAVYANANDA was ordered to England to run the British branch of the Ramakrishna Order.
