Author Peter Liddle is one of the leading experts on the Gallipoli campaign and it is refreshing in this centenary year to see a new volume on the subject by him. It is in fact an updated and revised version of his ‘Men of Gallipoli’ which came out in the 1970s and has been out of print for some time. Liddle specialises in individual soldiers stores, having collected together a huge amount of material for an archive that is now held at the University of Leeds. The book is full of these accounts covering every aspect of the campaign, and all the nations involved. Throughout it is illustrated with rare and unseen images. Still a classic forty years after it was first in print, Liddle’s book gives the soldier’s eye view of Gallipoli and stands among the classic accounts of the fighting in 1915. Recommended.

Essential Gallipoli.

Paul Nixon

A priceless archive of memoirs, diaries, letters and photographs... This is an especially vivid account of one of the most costly campaigns of the Great War.

The Good Books Guide

The Gallipoli campaign is portrayed as a military disaster for Britain and its allies, even though the Turks suffered heavier losses. But in his new book 'The Gallipoli Experience Reconsidered', historian and author Peter Liddle examines the reasons why we became embroiled in such a risky campaign.

Yorkshire Post

This is a nicely constructed book, and an excellent read that is also illustrated by a fine set of interesting photographs... If one wanted to read a single book that gave a detailed history of the campaign in one work then this would probably be it... No hesitation in recommending this book highly.
