Description
Book SynopsisThe multi-national story of the Gallipoli campaign - how it was fought, how it has been remembered, and what it has come to mean
Trade ReviewIt is within [a] bleak landscape of defeat that Jenny Macleod finds Gallipoli's lasting importance. The battle, she argues, and the acrimony of its aftermath, would help to birth four new nations an independent Australia, New Zealand, Irish Free State and Kamalist Turkey. * Victor Davis Hanson, Times Literary Supplement *
I strongly recommend Jenny Macleod's brilliant Great Battles: Gallipoli to readers interested in how the memorialisation of battles and campaigns informs our contemporary world. * British Journal for Military History *
an essential addition to our understanding of the consequences of the Gallipoli campaign. * Battlefield Trust *
