{"product_id":"9781781314067","title":"Gallipoli","description":"In GALLIPOLI, Alan Moorehead describes the great amphibious campaign of WW I. Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, was its strongest proponent. He was blamed for the fiasco that followed: a plan so admirable in concept yet so abominable in its execution.\u003cp\u003eThe idea was to relieve pressure on the Western Front. An Anglo-French campaign to force the Dardanelles was designed to link up the Allies and sever Turkey from the other Central Powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the idea stalled in planning and was delayed in execution. Results were disastrous. Turkish artillery and machine guns scythed down British troops.
