Gallipoli by Michael Hickey

Gallipoli by Michael Hickey is an acclaimed military history work examining one of the most controversial and devastating campaigns of the First World War. Published by John Murray and written with the insight of both a historian and former soldier, this detailed account explores the Allied attempt to seize the Dardanelles and knock the Ottoman Empire out of the war. Hickey combines strategic analysis, battlefield narratives, political context, and firsthand testimony to produce a gripping and balanced study of the campaign.

Gallipoli by Michael Hickey covers the disastrous landings, the harsh terrain, command failures, logistical difficulties, and the extraordinary endurance shown by soldiers on all sides. It also examines the political consequences of the campaign, including its impact on Winston Churchill’s career and the emergence of national identity among the ANZAC forces.
