"The Gallipoli campaign of 1915 was the most fascinating and dramatic episode of either world war, and finally in this book Mr. Moorehead, who is singularly fitted for the job, has given it to the world in all its grand dimensions. The author was one of the best of the British correspondents in World War II." -- Drew Middleton

Publisher's Notes
An epic of gallantry and folly -- the whole story of the most controversial campaign of modern times. The Allied campaign against Gallipoli began in 1915 when the Turks went into World War I on Germany's side. Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty in the British War Cabinet, conceived the plan of smashing through the Dardanelles with a fleet of old battleships and reopening the straits to Russian shipping. For years the Turks had been beaten in every battle they fought, and the project stood a reasonable chance of success. But what happened in the next nine months was a nightmare of lost opportunities, confused planning, and military incompetence. ONE OF THE MOST STAGGERING STORIES OF WAR EVER TOLD

Courcelette
by Paul Reed
While many War I engagements along the Somme have largely been forgotten, the action at Courcelette, or Flers-Courcelette as it is often known, remains an important milestone in military history. It was here on September 15, 1916 that the tank was first used in warfare, and the shifting fortunes of that confused day of battle continue to be studied by armor experts even today. Too few tanks, inadequately supported, with engines unequal to the task, failed to make a decisive breakthrough, but showed what they were capable of, and experienced all the problems and possibilities that have been a part of armored warfare ever since. Paul Reed describes this sector of the Western Front with all the detail that has become associated with the Battleground Europe series. Two dozen maps, diagrams, and scores of photographs show this historic area both then and now. The text describes the actions fought here in depth, with full details of units and individuals. The Battle-ground Europe series has proven to be popular with both battlefield visitors and those interested in studying the battles. In addition to the Tank Corps and other British memorials, an unusually large number of nationalities are commemorated here. An imposing obelisk honors 7,000 New Zealanders who perished in the battle, there are major Canadian cemeteries and memorials, the most important German monument on the Somme is here at Le Sars, and there are significant French monuments.

Echoes of Eagles
by Bill Crawford
The intrepid fighter pilots of World War I live again in this thrilling true account of the men who risked their lives for our country and who became America's first heroes of the skies. In 1917, Charles H. Woolley, the author's father, enlisted in and trained as a pilot with the newly created U.S. Air Service. He and his fellow pilots of the 94th, 95th, and 49th Aero Squadrons flew at 20,000 feet in open-cockpit French biplanes, with no oxygen, no parachutes, and no radios. Death was their constant companion. This extraordinary book takes readers into the cockpits of these fragile fighter aircraft and into the souls of the men who fought for their country in a new environment-the air. The grit of muddy airfields is balanced by the women and champagne of Paris. From tales of dog-fighting with German aces to strafing enemy trenches, Echoes of Eagles describes the risks and the dangers of flight, feats of incredible heroism and acts of stunning cowardice, and the camaraderie among men dedicated to a common goal. Based on diaries and letters and never-before-published interviews with the heroes themselves, and featuring amazing photographs, this unforgettable account of America's first fighter pilots is also a son's stirring tribute to his father.
