Description
John Masefield’s Gallipoli recollects the infamous five-month campaign between the Ottoman forces and the Allied troops during the First World War. The Ottoman victory over the campaign led to the eventual battle for Turkish independence eight years later. Masefield’s recollection is particularly unique because it was written and published just after the end of the battle, and focuses on military tactics, communications, and propaganda, rather than the soldier’s experience. HarperTorch brings great works of non-fiction and the dramatic arts to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms. Look for more titles in the HarperTorch collection to build your digital library.
