Gallipoli: The Turkish Story

Цитата:
Offering interviews with Turkish survivors of the Gallipoli campaign, insights from their descendants, and more than 50 photographs [not included in the pdf version] from the Turkish side of the trenches, this is the story of the infamous World War I battle from the Turkish perspective. This portrayal of the Battle of Canakkale, as the Turks call it, paints a richer portrait of the past and broadens the knowledge and understanding of this tragic event. This battle has become a common bond between Turkey and the Australians and New Zealanders against whom they fought, and this book presents a point of view which is of growing interest.
