Preview Climax at Gallipoli: The Failure of the August Offensive

Description:
"Rhys Crawley takes a revisionist sledgehammer to one of the remaining myths of the Gallipoli Campaign that the Allies could have won the Suvla offensive of August 1915. In a series of carefully constructed chapters he demonstrates that the operations failure was a function of structure rather than circumstance. Not only was the plan too ambitious but it placed far too much faith in the possibilities of maneuver in an age of industrialized, positional warfare. The result was all too typical of the Great War---an aggregation of sacrifices as futile as they were heroic." --
