The Landing at Anzac 1915: Australian Army Campaigns series-12

摘要

Not another book on the landing at Gallipoli I hear you murmur. Well reserve your judgement for a moment. This latest work by Chris Roberts is part of the Australian Army Campaigns Series. This series focuses on such things as leadership, command, strategy and tactics. Roberts spent 35 years in the military, retiring with the rank of Brigadier. His hands-on experience enables him to bring a fresh perspective to the accounts of this historic time. Roberts first examines many of the misconceptions that have arisen from that fatal day. Despite Charles Bean's Official History of WWI (published in 1920-21), Turkish accounts which have now become available, challenge a number of assertions made by Bean and others of that period.
