As for our young men, a few minutes ago, so alert, so self-confident, all now lying dead on the bare deck, blackened burned skeletons, twisted in all directions, no trace of any clothing, the fire having devoured all.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Vice Admiral P. E. Guéprette recalls the damage to the French ship Suffen during a naval battle in 1915.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most famous battles in history, Gallipoli forced Churchill from office, established Turkey's iconic founder Mustafa Kemal ('Ataturk') and marked Australia's emergence as a nation in its own right. It had begun as a bold move led by the British to ultimately capture Constantinople, but this definitive new history explains that from the initial landings - which ended with so much blood in the sea it could be seen from aircraft overhead - to the desperate attacks of early summer and the battle of attrition that followed, it was a lunacy that was never going to succeed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on unpublished personal accounts by individuals at all levels and from all sides - not only from Britain, Australia and New Zealand, but unusually from Turkey and France too - Peter Hart combines his trademark eye for vivid personal stories with a strong narrative to bring a modern view of this military disaster to a popular audience.","brand":"Profile Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42823884374096,"sku":"9781846681615B","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781846681615-l.jpg?v=1785894331","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/gallipoli-9781846681615b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
