Read Gallipoli Storyline:
Gallipoli is one of the most famous battles in history. It began as a bold move led by the British to knock Turkey out of the conflict, but this definitive new history explains that from the initial landings – which ended with so much blood in the sea it could be seen from aircraft overhead – to the desperate attacks of early summer and the battle of attrition that followed, it was a lunacy that was never going to succeed. Drawing on unpublished personal accounts by individuals at all levels and from all sides – not only from Britain, Australia and New Zealand, but unusually from Turkey and France too – Peter Hart combines his trademark eye for vivid personal stories with a strong narrative to bring a modern view of this war to a popular audience.Pages of Gallipoli :
