Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fighting in the Gallipoli or Dardanelles campaign began in 1915 as a purely naval affair undertaken partly at the instigation of Winston Churchill, who, as First Lord of the Admiralty, had entertained plans of capturing the Dardanelles as early as September 1914. It was the Royal Navy that bore the brunt of the initial action, supported by the French and with minor contributions from, the Russian and Australian fleets.On 3 November 1914, Churchill ordered the first British attack on the Dardanelles following the opening of hostilities between Ottoman and Russian empires. The British attack was carried out by battle cruisers of Carden's Mediterranean Squadron, HMS Indomitable and HMS Indefatigable, as well as two French battleships. This attack actually took place before a formal declaration of war had been made by Britain against the Ottoman Empire. Royal Navy submarines had already been operating in the region.When the naval operations failed, a full invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula was launched. The bitter fighting that followed resonated profoundly among all nations involved. The campaign was the first major battle undertaken by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), and is often considered to mark the birth of national consciousness in both of these countries. For the Turkish forces it would prove a major victory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failure of the Allied fleet to force a passage through the Straits of the Dardanelles in 1915 drove Winston Churchill from office (First Lord of the Admiralty) in disgrace and nearly destroyed his political career. For over a century, Churchill has been both praised and condemned for his role in launching this highly controversial campaign. For some, the Dardanelles offensive was a brilliant concept that might have dramatically shortened the First World War. To many others, however, Churchill was a reckless amateur who drove his unwilling and misinformed colleagues into a venture that was doomed to fail. This book, based on exhaustive archival research, provides a detailed and authoritative account of the Gallipoli campaign's origins and execution, stripping away the layers of myth that have long surrounded these dramatic events, and showing that no simple verdict is either possible or fair. Naval historian Christopher M. Bell untangles Churchill's complicated relationship with the dynamic First Sea Lord, Admiral Jacky Fisher, and reveals for the first time the behind-the-scenes machinations that led to Churchill's removal from office, including Fisher's covert campaign to undermine support for the Dardanelles operation, and the leaks by figures in high places that fuelled a bitter press campaign to drive Churchill from power. Equal attention is also given to the perhaps even more important story of Churchill and the Dardanelles after 1915. As Bell shows, Churchill spent a good deal of time and effort in the following two decades trying to refute his critics and convince the wider public that the campaign had in fact nearly succeeded. These efforts were so successful that the legacy of the Dardanelles did not stand in the way of Churchill becoming Prime Minister in May 1940--Provided by publisher.

With never before published information on Colonel Geehl's mine laying operation, which won the battle for the Germans, The Dardanelles Disaster is essential reading for everyone interested in great naval history, Churchill's early career, and World War I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy was not ready for the Dardanelles... The Navy in the Dardanelles Campaign offers a first-hand account of the Navy's role in the disastrous Dardanelles Campaign, also known as the Gallipoli Campaign. Lord Wester-Wemyss, was an Admiral of the Fleet who led the British landings at Cape Helles and Suvla Bay. Drawing on his own experiences and the recollections and writings of fellow officers, Wester-Wemyss documents and assess the Royal Navy's role in the joint operations, including: The initial naval shelling of Turkish fortifications. The strategies for landing troops on the infamous Gallipoli beaches, noting the heavy losses incurred in order to gain this foothold The Story of Captain Unwin and his Victoria Cross winning action aboard the SS River Clyde. The interdependence of military and naval manoeuvres that was required for any kind of success. This interdependence, he suggests, was in no way comprehended by the politicians back home, a failing perhaps most obviously demonstrated by the fact that the War Council was comprised almost wholly of civilians with no practical understanding of naval or military combat. The Navy in the Dardanelles is a classic account of the doomed Gallipoli Campaign, through the eyes of one who was there. Admiral of the Fleet Rosslyn Erskine Wemyss, 1st Baron Wester-Wemyss (1864-1933) joined the Royal Navy as a cadet on the HMS Britannia in 1877. In February 1915 he was prepared for operations against the Dardanelles, and ten months later was responsible for the successful withdrawal of troops from Suvla Bay and Ari Burnu. He was a representative of Britain at the signing of the Armistice in 1918 and was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet in 1919.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book completely rewrites the history of the origins of the Dardanelles Campaign and Winston Churchill's role in it, adding a new perspective to the military and political history of World War I. Churchill's Dilemma: The Real Story Behind the Origins of the 1915 Dardanelles Campaign is an entirely original study of the origins of the disastrous Dardanelles Campaign of 1915 and Winston Churchill's role in it. The work challenges long-held beliefs about Churchill's actions as First Lord, including the perceptions that he had a preoccupation with the Dardanelles bordering on obsession, and that he only reluctantly promoted a naval-only attempt to force the Dardanelles because there were no troops available for a full-scale amphibious assault on the Peninsula. Opening with a brief study of prewar naval policy in the age of the mine and submarine and the implications of the growing threat from Germany, this in-depth study shows that neither perception is true. Churchill's preoccupation was with northern Europe, not the Mediterranean. He promoted his naval-only operation because he hoped this would preempt a major British military commitment to a southern theatre that would compromise his northern aspirations. In studying the motivations that drove and the other key players in this drama, this groundbreaking work does nothing less than unlock the true origins of the Dardanelles campaign.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the Royal Navy in the Dardanelles campaign was heroic but as unhappy at sea as that of the Army was on land. The author of this account, Admiral Wester-Wemyss ( who later rose to be Britain's delegate at the signing of the Armistice in 1918) was an eye-witness on the spot. He describes the initial efforts to shell the Turkish fotresses along the Dardanelles straits into silence, and how those efforts were thwarted when British ships hit a series of mines. Thereafter, the Navy's principal role was to get the troops ashore at various landing sites on the Gallipoli peninsular - a task they carried out bravely, but which was hampered by the lack of landing craft. Wemyss spreads his sources net wide, using Admiral Sir Cecil Thursby' account of landing Anzac troops at Gaba Tepe, and Admirals Grasset and Guepratte's stories of the French navy's contribution to the campaign at Kume Kale. Wemyss also includes Captain Unwin of the River Clyde's account of how he won a VC landing soldiers from his ship despite a fierce enemy fusilade. This is a first-hand account of the somewhat neglected naval part of the Gallipoli operations.

This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans think of the Korean War as death and hardship in the bitter hills of Korea. It was certainly this, and for those who fought this is what they generally saw. Yet every foot of the struggles forward, every step of the retreats, the overwhelming victories, the withdrawals and last ditch stands had their seagoing support and overtones. The spectacular ones depended wholly on amphibious power -- the capability of the twentieth century scientific Navy to overwhelm land-bound forces at the point of contact. Yet the all pervading influence of the sea was present even when no major landing or retirement or reinforcement highlighted its effect. When navies clash in gigantic battle or hurl troops ashore under irresistible concentration of ship-borne guns and planes, nations understand that sea power is working. It is not so easy to understand that this tremendous force may effect its will silently, steadily, irresistibly even though no battles occur. No clearer example exists of this truth in wars dark record than in Korea. Communist-controlled North Korea had slight power at sea except for Soviet mines. So beyond this strong underwater phase the United States Navy and allies had little opposition on the water. It is, therefore, easy to fail to recognize the decisive role navies played in this war fought without large naval battles.

Book excerpt: This volume is mainly concerned with the Dardanelles operations from their inception as a naval diversion to their development into a major combined operation and its failure. Although the narrative is related from a naval point of view it is necessarily concerned with military movements, but they have been dealt with only in so far as seemed essential to make clear the navy s part in supporting the army. Purely naval operations treated include the raid on the Yorkshire coast in December 1914 and the Dogger Bank action on 24th January 1915. In a separate cover are ten maps/plans accompanying the text.
