A New Look at the Battle of Gallipoli

Jenny Macleod, Gallipoli (New York: Oxford University Press, 2015). One hundred three years have passed since the Battle of Gallipoli took place during World War I. The multi-national attack initiated by the Allies was successfully thwarted by the multi-ethnic army of the Ottoman Empire. In Gallipoli, historian Jenny Macleod discusses why the Allied plan failed, and of equal importance, how the Ottoman Army withstood the assault and emerged victorious.
