5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating History, June 15, 2002
This review is from: Gallipoli (Paperback)
This is the first book on the battles in the Dardenelles that I've read. I found it to be complete and compelling. Michael Hickey covers the battles on land and at sea. He sets the stage incredibly well. He goes over the grand strategy that led to the battles and covers life in the trenches for Brits, Aussies & Kiwi's that fought the battle. In short, this is one of the best WWI books I've ever read.
I couldn't recommend it more.

Dr DW Cameron, September 6, 2006
This review is from: Gallipoli (Paperback)
Doesn't even get the basics right - I flicked through the book and luckily did not waste my money buying it - Hicky states continually (this not a typo) that the 2nd Brigade at Anzac was the first to land, when it is WELL KNOWN that it was 3rd Brigade. If you he can't even get this well known fact correct - what about the rest of it!
