Gallipoli by Captain Eric Wheler Bush

Gallipoli by Captain Eric Whelan Bush is an authoritative and highly readable account of the infamous Gallipoli Campaign of the First World War. Published in 1975 by George Allen & Unwin Ltd, this hardcover edition examines the disastrous Allied assault on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915, a campaign that became synonymous with courage, sacrifice, military miscalculation, and the emergence of national identities such as the ANZAC tradition.

Eric Bush, a respected naval historian and decorated Royal Navy officer, brings both historical depth and military insight to this work. Gallipoli covers the strategic planning behind the campaign, the naval operations in the Dardanelles, the amphibious landings, trench warfare, and the immense human cost suffered by Allied and Ottoman forces alike. Bush’s writing combines scholarly research with accessible narrative, making this title appealing to both serious military historians and general readers interested in World War I history.

This edition features striking period artwork on the dust jacket and retains its original blue cloth boards. Works on Gallipoli continue to attract collectors due to the enduring historical importance of the campaign and its relevance to British, Australian, New Zealand, and Turkish military history.

An excellent addition to any military history, naval history, or First World War collection, this volume is particularly desirable in such well-preserved condition.
