An important and brutal war that you’ve probably never heard of…
A tribe of well-armed mounted warriors as tough as any in Africa.
A handful of surrounded colonial officials - massively outnumbered and outgunned.
Now if that hasn’t caught your attention then I don’t know what will.
Today we are talking about two sieges and the battles to relieve them during the Basotho Gun War of 1880-81.
