In response, Great Britain and France undertook a daring operation: the largest amphibious landing ever attempted to force open the Dardanelles, threaten Constantinople, and force the Ottomans to surrender. Commanding the campaign was Sir Ian Hamilton, who had witnessed the dawn of modern trench warfare in Manchuria only ten years earlier. The battle would be played out in the Gallipoli Peninsula, and become known as Gallipoli.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Sir Ian Hamilton's personal diary of the Dardanelles campaign, and the disaster that followed - a catastrophe that caused over half a million casualties across both sides, ended his military career, and helped forge the identities of Australia and New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Hamilton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1927537886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781927537886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legacy Books Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.17d","brand":"Ian Hamilton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44829792239871,"sku":"9781927537886","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46b6dfb8-9562-414f-bea2-f98899577cd6.jpg?v=1708451659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gallipoli-1915-ian-hamilton-9781927537886","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
