Product Description: Gallipoli still stands out as one of the most evocative battlefield operations in British history. As Robert Rhodes James writes "it is not difficult to see why Gallipoli exerts such a powerful grip on the interest and imagination of the British people. The setting, the challenge, the response to that challenge are alike enthralling." No campaign has aroused fiercer controversy, both in its planning and execution, and, over the years, in the accounts of historians and those who played an active part in the events. Since its first publication in 1965, Robert Rhodes James's detailed and balanced study has come to be recognized as one of the definitive accounts of the eight-month campaign to overrun the Gallipoli peninsula. Early chapters reveal the fascinating maneuverings within the War Council that led to the ill- fated plan, setting the scene for an extensively researched and thoroughly balanced account of the actual operation. Diaries and letters of men who fought in the action are brilliantly used to bring home the realities, as much as that is genuinely possible, of being involved in such a hard and bloody campaign, while the book is well supplied with genuine photographs from the time and has no lack of explanatory maps which are particularly vital to any proper understanding of Gallipoli's significance.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On 15th April 1915, British and Dominion troops landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The campaign which followed lasted over eight months and cost the terrible total of nearly half a million Allied and Turkish casualties. The eventual failure of the Gallipoli campaign, after heart-breaking opportunities had been missed, was a disastrous set-back to Allied hopes. It remains one of the most engrossing and poignant tragedies in British military history. In our new edition of this classic in military writing, Robert Rhodes James was one of the first historians to work from the official archives and makes brilliant use of diaries and letters of the men who fought there and the photographs they took. Gallipoli stands the test of time, bringing vividly to life the conditions and circumstances of a campaign which has never ceased to enthral the imagination.
