THE LANDING AT ANZAC: 1915

1-211250

Challenges many of the cherished myths of the most celebrated battle in Australian and New Zealand history -- myths that have endured for almost a century.

Told from both the ANZAC and Turkish perspectives, this meticulously researched account questions several of the claims of Charles Bean's magisterial and much-quoted Australian official history and presents a fresh examination of the evidence from a range of participants. Also pulls the Gallipoli campaign into the modern era and produces a number of lessons from the armies of today.
