Synopsis:
On 25 April 1915 Allied forces landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula, to secure the Dardanelles and give the Allied fleet access to Constantinople. In this book, the bestselling Australian author Peter Fitzsimons recreates the disastrous campaign as experienced by those who endured it or perished in the attempt; and he goes beyond the battlefields to the deliberations of the British War Council and the Ottoman administration who sent armies to a 'natural crossroads for Emperors embarked on imperialism'.
About the Author: PETER FITZSIMONS is journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald and Sun-Herald and a television presenter and reporter. He speaks four languages and used to play rugby for Australia. The individuals he has interviewed range from George Bush and Sir Edmund Hillary to Jamie Oliver, Jodie Foster and Diego Maradona. He is also Australia's biggest-selling non-fiction author of the last decade. His books include Kokoda, Tobruk, Batavia and most recently, Ned Kelly. He lives with his wife, 'Today Show' co-host Lisa Wilkinson, and their three children in Sydney.
