The Gallipoli expedition of 1915, the brainchild of Winston Churchill, was designed to knock the Turkish Empire out of WWI and to open a supply route to Russia. This campaign was characterized by the most outstanding courage and determination of both sides. Philip Haythornthwaite describes in detail the planning of the attack and the course of events, including the bombardment of the Turkish forts and the landings at Sulva Bay and ANZAC cove.
