The Landing at Anzac: 1915 (Australian Army Campaign Series Book 12)

The Landing at Anzac, 1915 challenges many of the cherished myths of the most celebrated battle in Australian and New Zealand history — myths that
have endured for almost a century. Told from both the Anzac and Turkish perspectives, this meticulously researched account questions several of the
claims of Charles Bean’s magisterial and much-quoted Australian official history and presents a fresh examination of the evidence from a range of
participants.
The Landing at Anzac, 1915 reaches a carefully argued conclusion in which Roberts draws together the threads of his analysis delivering some startling
findings. But the author’s interest extends beyond the simple debunking of hallowed myths, and he produces a number of lessons for the armies of
today. This is a book that pulls the Gallipoli campaign into the modern era and provides a compelling argument for its continuing relevance. In short,
today’s armies must never forget the lessons of Gallipoli.
