Gallipoli 1915 By Travers. 1st Edition VG

FIRST EDITION 2001

  Why was the Allied naval assault of February/  March 1915 so unsuccessful? Did the  Ottoman Turks have knowledge of the Allied  landings of 25 April 1915? And did Sir Ian  Hamilton, the overall commander of the  Allied forces at Gallipoli, really make a  mistake in his intervention at Suvla? These  questions and the key issue of why the  Ottoman Turks won the 1915 Gallipoli  campaign, or why the Allies lost it, have  never been satisfactorily answered. This new  history of the Gallipoli campaign aims to  answer them, while also telling the story of  what actually happened through the voices of  British, Australian and Turkish soldiers.  In order to properly understand the bloody  events of 1915, Tim Travers is the first  historian of Gallipoli to use the general Staff  Ottoman archives in Ankara to tell the other  side of the story. Wide-ranging research in  the Turkish archives as well as those in  Australia, Britain, France and New Zealand,  plus a significant newly discovered German  source, has produced a startling new  interpretation of the 1915 conflict. Moving  from the study of the Western Front, Tim  Travers has produced a challenging analysis  of the enduring mysteries of the Gallipoli  campaign.
