The British Navy's disastrous attempt to pass through the Dardanelles to Constantinople was a turning point in the history of World War I. Acclaimed naval military expert Dan van der Vat argues that the disaster at the Dardanelles prolonged the war by two years, led to the Russian Revolution, forced Britain to the brink of starvation, and contributed to the destabilization of the Middle East.

True History of the Battle - A good book.
Revisado: 09-16-10
One needs to look beyond the prior reviews when thinking about this book. It provides a rich, detailed history of the battle and gives the entire context of the period in which the battle takes place. The work is not for the faint of heart, however. The author examines a complicated period of history, a period that is much more complicated than most moder readers are aware. However, the listner is well rewarded for sticking with it. If you just want a blow-by-blow of the battle, pick another book. If you want to know the motivations and the mistakes of the leaders involved as well as the complicated interrelationships that shaped and drove the events of the time, then this book should not be missed.
