Robert Rhodes James's Gallipoli stands as the definitive chronicle of the ill-fated Dardanelles Campaign of 1915, meticulously reconstructing the strategic ambitions, political miscalculations, and the extraordinary courage of the soldiers — British, ANZAC, French, and Ottoman alike — who fought and died on those unforgiving cliffs and beaches.\n\nWritten with the precision of a scholar and the narrative drive of a master storyteller, this work presents a forensic yet deeply human account of one of the war's most contested theatres. Rhodes James draws on a vast array of primary sources, official dispatches, and personal testimonies to argue that the failure at Gallipoli was not inevitable, but the tragic product of institutional failure and divided command. A landmark of twentieth-century military history, Gallipoli endures as essential reading — leaving the reader to ponder the razor-thin line between a campaign that might have ended the war early and the disaster that instead prolonged it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50736280371419,"sku":"2026100010469-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/540d9be0-1b79-4a3c-a65f-65b603d85d5c.png?v=1792122733","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010469-secondhand-gallipoli-the-classic-account-of-the-dardanelles-campaign-with-a-new-introduction-by-the-author","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
