Gallipoli by Peter Hart
An account of an epic tragedy, the battle of Gallipoli. It 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.
A marvellous book.. vivid and compelling * Economist *

Superb... a serious and important work on Gallipoli. It is researched in fine detail and written in Peter Hart's increasingly excellent style.
