From 25 April 1916 to 9 January 1916, troops from the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Turkey were engaged in a bitter struggle for the Gallipoli peninsula, leaving 100,000 dead. Published to commemorate the centenary of the campaign, 'Gallipoli' takes you behind the scenes of the planning and preparation, and describes the landings themselves, the key encounters such as the battles for Krithia, Lone Pine and Gully Ravine, and the dramatic Allied evacuations that brought an end to hostilities. The book also features in-depth profiles of the well-known figures associated with the conflict, including Winston Churchill, William Birdwood and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, as well revealing the experience of the ordinary soldier on all sides. Also included are a variety of removable documents, including a Turkish mobilisation poster and a letter describing the brutal fighting at Lone Pine.
