The Dardanelles Disaster: Winston Churchill's Greatest Failure

A fiasco that resulted in Churchills dismissal and a change of government, the Allied defeat at Gallipoli probably extended the length of the First World War, and this book traces the cause of the failure to mistakes made in the preceding Dardanelles naval campaign. The book describes the events as they unfolded, reviews the political and military decisions that influenced those events, and explores the historical, strategic importance of the Dardanelles strait.
