Gallipoli: The New Zealand Story

Description

The definitive account of New Zealand's role in the disastrous 1915 Gallipoli campaign, when a British-led expeditionary force met the Turkish army in an attempt to wrest control of the Dardanelles, comes alive in an updated edition, liberally illustrated and brilliantly analysed by the doyen or Kiwi military historians. In this edition we see Gallipoli through the eyes of those who fought in the campaign, through the pages of their letters, diaries and reminiscences and through the author's research into the vast field of unpublished primary source material and photographs. 'Gallipoli' does justice to the reality of this epic campaign, and deserves a place on the shelves of history enthusiasts world-wide.

Christopher Pugsley is the author of numerous military histories, principally about the First and Second World Wars. He is a specialist on Gallipoli and the Western Front. A retired Lieutenant-Colonel in the New Zealand Army, he has a lecturer in military studies at universities in New Zealand and Australia, and retired in 2012 as a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. Among his recent works are 'Sandhurst: A Tradition of Leadership' and 'Operation Cobra' (Battle Zone Normandy).
