Description:
New book, 312 pages. The raging battles of the landings, the defeats of Krithia and on the Suvla plain, the desperate Australian assaults on Lone Pine and the Nek, the heroism of the Gurkhas at Sari Bair, and of the New Zealanders at Chunuk Bair resonate down the years in many nations. And for Australians and New Zealands, Gallipoli has attained iconic status as the campaign in which national identity was forged. The book by Harvey Broadbent, a leading authority, situates the story of Gallipoli within its multinational context. It is illustrated with over 200 photographs and artwork from collections in Australia, Britain, New Zealand and Turkey.
