Description
The Gallipoli expedition was a bold and audacious plan to capture Constantinople from the Turks by force. The campaign's failure resulted in catastrophic loss of life, but it came close to achieving a goal that might have led to victory overall. First published in 1956, this book is still regarded as the best account of the campaign. Alan Moorehead's work revealed that the faults lay not with the plan itself, but with its execution. The campaign's potentialities were almost beyond reckoning, and its influence on military strategy was enormous. Moorehead's book provides a detailed and insightful look at one of the most significant events of World War I.
