Gallipoli / Peter FitzSimons. by FitzSimons, Peter, author. [North Sydney, NSW] : William Heinemann: Australia, 2014. Subjects World War, 1914-1918 -- Campaigns -- Turkey -- Gallipoli Peninsula.   World War, 1914-1918 -- Participation, Australian. ISBN:  9781741666595 : 1741666597 Description:  xxiv, 824 pages, [8] unnumbered pages : illustrations, map ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  On 25 April 1915, Allied forces landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in present-day Turkey to secure the sea route between Britain and France in the west and Russia in the east. After eight months of terrible fighting, they would fail. Turkey regards the victory to this day as a defining moment in its history, a heroic last stand in the defence of the nation's Ottoman Empire. But, counter-intuitively, it would signify something perhaps even greater for the defeated Australians and New Zealanders involved: the birth of their countries' sense of nationhood. Now approaching its centenary, the Gallipoli campaign, commemorated each year on Anzac Day, reverberates with importance as the origin and symbol of Australian and New Zealand identity. As such, the facts of the battle, which was minor against the scale of the First World War and cost less than a sixth of the Australian deaths on the Western Front, are often forgotten or obscured. Peter FitzSimons, with his trademark vibrancy and expert melding of writing and research, recreates the disaster as experienced by those who endured it or perished in the attempt.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 940.426 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 940.426 Fi Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 940.426 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
