Gallipoli The New Zealand Story by Christopher Pugsley

An essential account of the ill-fated 1915 campaign, led by the British and supported by its allies from the Empire, to open the Bosphorous sea route to Russia. Tells the complete story of the military operations, the experience on the ground as it was lived by those who fought there; and the impact that the conflict had on colonial society. This is the New Zealand story of Gallipoli, but one that also illuminates the campaign as a whole, taking into account the Australian, British and Turkish experience. Draws on the diaries, letters and reminiscences of New Zealanders who were there, and extensive research into primary and sceondary source material and photographs to give a narrative that takes into account every aspect of this legendary campaign - separating out the reality of the battlefield from the mythologising that ensued.
