Great first hand information By Jetpack The author does a wonderful job of taking the first hand information (mostly Allies, but some Turkish) and let's them tell the story. Several of the accounts come from people who's letters were found after being killed. It's really well done. The agony of long-term Australians in leaving their dead comrades...So difficult to do.If you have any interest in history, easy to recommend. The poor quartermaster who had to destroy the rum.....The ending is perfect.I was able to get when it was free, but definitely worth buying. 7,335 locations - 3/4 of the the story before the end note.

The first part is really the most interesting, as it covers the fight for Hill 60. This is the most detailed coverage I have seen given to Hill 60, and it's well done. The operation is broken down at times to company or below level, but there are quite a few good maps that help explain the action. It's easy to follow the detail of the battle. There's quite a few first-hand accounts included is well; some are perhaps quoted at too much length, but there are some interesting stories in them. Inevitably, the other two-thirds of the book are a bit anti-climactic, as pretty much all the major fighting ends at Hill 60. That being said, the rarely covered "stalemate" period is also covered in detail, and the mining and tunneling operations in particular are given a level of tactical detail I haven't seen before. The final part of the book also does a good job covering the evacuation. I'm not sure there were any groundbreaking insights uncovered by the author, but he has produced the most information I have seen of the tail end of the campaign. Well worth the pretty modest price.
1 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Gallipoli By Malenywoman My grandfather, an ANZAC, was killed on 22nd August 1915 on Hill 60 the day after he landed at Gallipoli. So I was very keen to read this book. Unfortunately I was very disappointed.It's really a report of all the battle plans and outcomes- more for a military strategist or army planning exercise on the disastrous decisions of the campaign.There is no real personal connection with the young soldiers and the fear & confusion they experienced along with the terrible privations & their realization that they were being senselessly thrown to be slaughtered.
