The Story of Gallipoli Paperback - 2004
by Patrick Carlyon
A masterful account of the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign of the First World War, & the experiences of the young Australian soldiers who fought there. Text includes maps & photo sections.
Summary
Then, the dark shape of a man standing on a hill. A shout from the shore. A single shot rang out and a bullet hissed overhead.
The Gallipoli campaign had begun
Anzac soldiers fought on Turkish soil nearly a century ago. So why do we still care about what happened there? Why do we celebrate a battle lost?
The Gallipoli Story takes young people on an unforgettable and tough journey deep into the heartland of war. Patrick Carlyon digs past the myths to explore the lives and choices of the men - soldiers, politicians and generals alike - who found themselves caught up in a battle fought far from home.
A powerful piece of storytelling that brings history to life - and shows us the human faces behind the grand story.
