DON'T MISS THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY TO PICK UP A VERY CHEAP COPY!

The Anzac legend has almost sacred significance in Australia and the date of the Gallipoli landing - 25 April - is a national day of remembrance.

Using official documents never before studies by historians, as well as private papers, Denis Winter sheds new light on the landing.  The events leading up to 25 April are reconstructed through three interwoven strands in the narrative: the men, strategic planning and operational aspects.

The individual experiences of the men - their attitudes, their feelings on the eve of battle and during it, the impact on survivors - are juxtaposed against the larger picture: the serious planning for Gallipoli that had begun as early as 1903 and the operational aspects that went so disastrously wrong and ensured that the campaign was doomed from the very outset.

This 290 page softcover is illustrated with black and white photographs.  There are creases to front and back cover (spine is uncreased), some light marks, edgewear to cover and spine, and some light marks to page edges (does not impact on page face).    Internally there is light browning to page edges due to age, but it is otherwise tight and clean. This is a fascinating read and a great opportunity to pick up a copy at a fraction of the normal asking price. 

Because of the value of this book overseas customers should email me for a postage/insurance quote before bidding, as insurance is required for all overseas destinations on this item.
