Gallipoli Soup A war story of statecraft and sacrifice

This is the story of Gallipoli in World War I, as seen through the eyes of several participants. Characters include Australians, Turks, English and Germans, in roles of a press correspondent, an ambassador, infantry privates, army and navy officers, a politician and a spy. Gallipoli Soup is history written to read like a novel, not traditional historical fiction. It is written to tell it like it was and why it happened. The reader will experience the horrors of the battlefield as well as gaining insights into why the campaign was initiated and why it played out in the way that it did through to the final evacuation. The Gallipoli battlefield was not a simple fight of good versus evil, but a conflict of more complex origins in which everyone was on the side of righteousness.
