Gallipoli (2014)
Peter FitzsimonsTurkey regards the victory to this day as a defining moment in its history, a heroic last stand in the defense of the nation’s Ottoman Empire. But, counter-intuitively, it would signify something perhaps even greater for the defeated Australians and New Zealanders involved: the birth of their countries’ sense of nationhood.
Now approaching its centenary, the Gallipoli campaign, commemorated each year on Anzac Day, reverberates with importance as the origin and symbol of Australian and New Zealand identity. As such, the facts of the battle—which was minor against the scale of World War I and cost less than a sixth of the Australian deaths on the Western Front—are often forgotten or obscured. Peter
FitzSimons, with his trademark vibrancy and expert melding of writing and research, recreates the disaster as experienced by those who endured it or perished in the attempt.
