The Gallipoli campaign of 1915-16 pitched the Australian and New Zealand volunteers known as the ANZACs into a series of desperate battles with the Ottoman soldiers defending their homeland. In August 1915, the two sides clashed in the bitter battles of Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair as the Allies sought to overcome the stalemate that set in following the landings in April. After the Allied evacuation of Gallipoli in January 1916, the ANZACs played a decisive role in the Allies' hard-fought advance through Ottoman-held Sinai and Palestine, especially during the fateful battle of Beersheba in October 1917. In this book, featuring specially commissioned artwork and mapping plus carefully chosen archive photographs, acclaimed military historian Si Sheppard assesses and compares the fighting men on both sides who fought at Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair and Beersheba.
