Moorehead, Alan, - Gallipoli.

NY, Ballantine, (1956). G PB. The Allied campaign against Gallipoli began in 1915 when the Turks joined WWi on Germany's side. Winston Churchill. conceived the plan of smashing through the Dardenelles with a fleet of old battleships ropening the sraits to Russ Shipping. For years the Turks had been beaten in every battle they fought and the great project stood a reasonable chance of success. The initial landing at Point Heles was a massacre fewer than 200 men got ashore alive and for 50 years out from the beach the watere were red with human blood. With more than 200 ships and 75,000 men the force gathered to capture Constantinople was the largest amphibious venture until WWII yet after 9 months of savage fighting and 250000 casualties, not one military objective had been achieved and the beachhead was still less than two miles deep. Gallipoli beame a graveyard of reputations. The top admiral of the British Navy resigned, four generals were relieved of command, Churchill was forced out of office and Lord Kitchener never regained the confidence of the British nations. cover and edges worn, owner's name and address inside front cover.
