A "superb new book on the Ottoman perspective of Gallipoli" from the military historian and Gulf War veteran (Great War Forum). The Ottoman Army won a historic victory over the Allied forces at Gallipoli in 1915. This was one of the most decisive and clear-cut campaigns of the Great War. Yet the performance of the Ottomans, the victors, has often received less attention than that of the Allied army they defeated. In this perceptive study, Edward Erickson concentrates on the Ottoman side of the campaign. He looks in detail at the Ottoman Army--its structure, tactics and deployment--and at the conduct of the commanders who served it so well. His pioneering work complements the extensive literature on other aspects of the Gallipoli battle, in particular those accounts that have focused on the experience of the British, Australians and New Zealanders. This highly original reassessment of the campaign will be essential reading for students of the Great War, especially the conflict in the Middle East. "Erickson's analysis of the battle itself is insightful and detailed and his writing style is extremely engaging and easily maintains the reader's interest."--War History Online "This detailed appraisal of the Gallipoli campaign from the victorious Ottoman perspective is essential reading."--Military Historical Society No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The first English language study of the campaign to draw heavily on Turkish sources, it disproves many of the long held beliefs of the 'English-language historiography' (the author's phrase). For example, the belief that the Ottoman guns were almost out of ammunition following the naval assault on 18 March 1915, and just one more push was required to break through into the Sea of Marmara and Constantinople, is firmly and positively put to rest. Also, the Ottoman forces defending the penninsula immediately prior to the allied landings were, contrary to western belief, well organised, trained, equipped and led.
This book should be on the shelf of anyone with even a passing interest in the Gallipoli Campaign. ( )
