Review “History of a very high order…. the best account by far of the campaign in 1915-16.”—Jay Winter, Yale University  (Jay Winter)"It's a well-written book, complete with a great bibliography and some of the most outstanding maps to be delivered with any account of war and battle. That the author could assemble such a plethora of information and then distill it into such a readable account would be a story unto itself. For anyone who wants to know where, when and what Gallipoli was, this book is for you."—Vice Adm. Robert F. Dunn, The Washington Times  (Vice Adm. Robert F.
