Defeat at Gallipoli

More about the book

This second part of the Dardanelles Commissions report deals with the disastrous military campaign to capture the Gallipoli Peninsula using ground forces. The Allies were unable to make headway against an enemy who was well prepared and well positioned. Within a few months the Allies had suffered humiliating defeat, and thousands of troops had lost their lives. The realization of the British governments incompetence in handling this affair was instrumental in the removal of Herbert Asquith as Prime Minister in December 1916.
