From 25th April 1915 to 9th January 1916, troops from Australia,
New Zealand, the UK and Turkey engaged in a bitter struggle for the
Gallipoli peninsula. The Allied forces wanted to forge a passage
through the Dardanelles in order to create a sea route to Russia
and capture the Ottoman capital of Constantinople. Despite having
more troops and being better supplied, the Allies suffered
devastating losses in the face of the brave and resourceful Turks.
Gallipoli tells the story of this campaign in a unique and
comprehensive manner, through three authors who expertly describe
their country's role and the impact the conflict had. For the
ANZACs Gallipoli was the birthplace of the ANZAC spirit, for the
British it was almost the downfall of Winston Churchill and for the
Turks it was a defining moment in their history, becoming the basis
of the Turkish War of Independence.
