Product Description

The key issue of why the Ottoman Turks won the 1915 Gallipoli campaign has never been satisfactorily answered. This new history of the campaign aims to answer that question while telling the story of what actually happened. Why was the Allied naval assault of February 1915 so unsuccessful? This book finally answers this question, excellently compiled using the accounts of British, ANZAC and Turkish soldiers. A uniquely comprehensive book.

Review
"The most balanced history of the campaign yet published"

Malcolm Brown, BBC History Magazine
‘scrupulously non-partisan, citing much hitherto unpublished evidence from the Turkish side and giving fair space to all sides’

History Today
‘the first to incorporate research from the Ottoman Turkish archives.’
