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. Thanks to Cam Simpson.
