Very thorough
13 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book provides a very thorough and technical analysis of the Gallipoli camapiagn or Canakkale as it is called in Turkey. The book has more information from the Turkish/Ottoman point of view compared to previous books I have read on this campaign, but nevertheless, I would have liked to have seen more. The book goes into extreme detail when examining the causes of the failure of the Allied forces to achieve their objectives, much more detail than I have seen in other books, and the section of photographs, particularly with reference to the Ottoman forces was quite good. The only downside of this book is that it is at times a little bit too techinical and detailed. For those who have never read about Gallipoli before, I would recommend that you read Alan Moorehead's "Gallipoli" first, as you will get a nice overview of the campaign from this book, and then you would be ready for Mr. Travers more detailed analysis.

Exceptionally Good
22 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
Contradicting to some of the better known thesis especially on the Suvla offensive. Involving the Turkish side of the history is an effort that deserves special recognition, however it is not surprising to see that the Turkish side is not covered in depth due to limited resources

Gallipoli 1915 by Tim Travers
30 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Exceptionally well researched and written, Gallipoli - 1915 sheds new light on what is arguably one of the most fascinating campaign of World War One. Drawing on multiple sources, many heretofore unavailable, unknown or simply ignored, Tim Travers demonstrates a remarkable understanding of the inner workings of History and offers the reader a monumental picture of a 20th Century equivalent of the Siege of Troy. Only in this case, the Trojans win the day.
