Summary: A must-read for anyone doing research on Gallipoli.
Comment: The book is a well-written, historically accurate portrayal of the campaign. Unfortunately, it tends to stick to narrating the campaign instead of discussing the strategy and decisions behind the moves at Gallipoli. Despite that, the book is authoratative, and a relatively brief but good description of what happened. Somebody from Provo, Utah said that the book didn't talk about the Turks, but that isn't true. Of the many books written on the campaign, it is the one book that talks MOST of the Turks, with about every other chapter dedicated to the Turkish side of the campaign. Many other books don't write about the Turkish side at all, and much of my research about the opposing forces came from this book.

Summary: Gallipoli - the battle from the front line
Comment: Alan Moorehead's Gallipoli was the book that lead to the famous Australian movie. The book deals really well with all aspects of the campaign, from the British/ANZAC/French point of view to the Turkish/German viewpoint. It is an entertaining read and despite this really brings home some of the unique horror and heroism of this battle both on the peninsula and at sea. There were some omissions but that is not surprising considering the scope of the book. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in not only the battle but in the Great War as well.

Summary: A Must Read
Comment: Truly this book is a must read for all historians and histroy readers alike. The book captures a good balance between the purely military related technical details and the everyday life in trenches. It also succesfully portrays the interraction between the oposing sides that went far from merely dislike as enemies. A very good book on an immensely interesting topic. AM takes you to a tour on the battlefield and introduces you to main roleplayers. A purely non-fiction book written as if a fiction story. Very interesting indeed.
