| Description: |
The story of the Commander of the ill-fated Gallipoli expedition |
| Synopsis: |
The Gallipoli campaign was launched in April 1915 in an effort to knock Turkey out of the war but the force that was deployed was too small to achieve its aim.

This book examines why Hamilton failed at Gallipoli and shows how, in spite of that failure and it being his last command, he became a well respected military prophet who many several perceptive predictions about the future of warfare. |
