AbstractHistoryArchive Description
"On 25 April 1915, thousands of Australians and New Zealanders landed at
an unnamed cove on the Gallipoli peninsula. They had come to fight the
Turks. They thought the battle would be over in three days, but months
later they were still in the trenches they'd dug at the landing.
Gallipoli fast became a graveyard where bodies lay above the ground and
the living slept under it. The Anzacs went looking for the adventure of a
lifetime" -- Book Jacket.
