An indispensable account of the disastrous 1914-1916, Churchill-inspired campaign by a civilian eyewitness who was present at the 1916 evacuation of the peninsula. The author discusses its strategic conception and possible results in the complete blockade of the Central Powers, and shows how "the hopes suggested by the conception in 1915 have faded like a dream," because the Alliance "either failed to imagine their significance or were incapable of supplying the power required for their realisation while at the same time pressing forward the proposed offensive in France." Includes the original 17 illustrations, 5 maps, and 4 oversized maps on an enclosed CD. Reprint edition. 2006: 493 pages, softcover. (Scholar's Bookshelf)
