The battle for Gallipoli has been described as one of "the world's classic tragedies" and in this book the participants of the failed offensive tell their own tragic stories through contemporary accounts and memories recorded later in life. Linking these experiences, the book gives an insight into the lives of the soldiers involved, and present a detailed and authoritative explanation of the events that surrounded the campaign. The result is a powerful, historical account of Gallipoli in which the solid facts are brightly illuminated by the frank and moving observations of the soldiers who fought and died.
