Description
Churchill and the Dardanelles provides a detailed account of the Gallipoli campaign's origins and execution. Exhaustive archival research sheds new light on this pivotal event in World War I, dispelling myths that have long surrounded it. The book explores Churchill's complicated relationship with Admiral Jacky Fisher, the First Sea Lord, and reveals behind-the-scenes machinations that led to Churchill's removal from office as First Lord of the Admiralty. It also examines the press campaign that fueled a bitter public backlash against Churchill. Churchill's reaction to the Dardanelles offensive is also scrutinised in this authoritative study, which shows how he spent time trying to refute his critics and convince the wider public that the campaign had nearly succeeded.
