Alan Moorehead Gallipoli
Ballantine Books 1985 0345330889 / 9780345330888 Mass Market Paperback Good
"unmarked, light spine and cover creasing, light rubbing of edges() An epic of gallantry and folly -- the whole story of the most controversial campaign of modern times. The Allied campaign against Gallipoli began in 1915 when the Turks went into World War I on Germany's side. Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty in the British War Cabinet, conceived the plan of smashing through the Dardanelles with a fleet of old battleships and reopening the straits to Russian shipping. For years the Turks had been beaten in every battle they fought, and the project stood a reasonable chance of success. But what happened in the next nine months was a nightmare of lost opportunities, confused planning, and military incompetence. ONE OF THE MOST STAGGERING STORIES OF WAR EVER TOLD ID: mon0000098175"

Alan Moorehead Gallipoli (Wordsworth Collection)
Combined Publishing 1998 1853266752 / 9781853266751 Paperback Very Good
"'() In 1915 the Gallipoli campaign was designed to break the deadlock in the muddy trenches of the Western Front by forcing the Dardenelles, capturing Constantinople, knocking Turkey out of the war and bringing supplies and arms to the Russians for their immense German Front. It was a costly failure. Using private papers as well as official records, Alan Moorehead re-creates the drama of Gallipoli with its tragic hesitations and missed opportunities. He describes the heroism of the British and Anzac troops who were hemmed within a few terrible acres of beach and hillside and permanently under shellfire.'''' ID: mon0000082210"
