Description:
This book was a best-seller when it was first published in 1956. It was written by the Anglo-Australian war correspondent Alan Moorehead (1910-1983). (It was also the famous 1981 film that launched Mel Gibson's career.)It is a vivid chronicle of adventure, suspense, agony, and heroism--and a tragic waste of human life, particularly for the Australians. When Turkey unexpectedly sided with Germany in World War I, Winston Churchill, as First Sea Lord, conceived a plan of smashing through the Dardanelles, reopening the Straits to Russian shipping, and immobilizing the Turks. On the night of March 18, 1915, this plan nearly succeeded--the Turks were virtually beaten. But poor communication left the Allies in the dark, allowing the Turks to prevail and the Allies to suffer a crushing quarter-million casualties.
Unclipped dust jacket. 318 pages, including photos--many of them in color. The spine is white and there is a little bit of ink transfer from the jacket to the spine. Otherwise mint condition.NOTE:… Read More
