Book Synopsis Gallipoli - the Road to Jerusalem by : Kelvin Crombie
Download or read book Gallipoli - the Road to Jerusalem written by Kelvin Crombie and published by . This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gallipoli Campaign which began on 25 April 1915 was one of the biggest Allied defeats of World War One. Yet it stirred the imaginations and passions of many, evoking thoughts for some of the reconquest of the ancient Byzantine capital of Constantinople, and for Jewish and Arab nationalists of the establishment of independent nations. The Gallipoli (or Dardanelles) Campaign was pivotal in the formation of the modern Middle East, as it ultimately resulted in the collapse of the 400 year old Ottoman Turkish Empire, which led in turn to the establishment of the Arab nations of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia - and the Jewish nation of Israel. Gallipoli was the beginning of a road that led to Beersheba, Jerusalem and Damascus. Those military successes by the soldiers of the British Empire (assisted by Feisal and Lawrence), created the political environment for the establishment of those new nation entities. The destinies of many nations were associated with Gallipoli, including Australia and New Zealand (the Anzacs) which fought their first battle there as sovereign nations. This is an updated version of Anzacs, Empires and Israel's Restoration 1798-1948 (published in 1998), but includes more archival material and culminates on 25 April 1920, when the League of Nations legally laid the foundations for Israel and for some of those Arab nations to come into existence.

Book Synopsis Soldier Of The Gallipoli Campaign 1915 by : Sandee Bostelmann
Download or read book Soldier Of The Gallipoli Campaign 1915 written by Sandee Bostelmann and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gallipoli campaign was a military campaign in the First World War that took place on the Gallipoli peninsula, from 17 February 1915 to 9 January 1916. The Entente powers, Britain, France, and Russia, sought to weaken the Ottoman Empire, one of the Central Powers, by taking control of the Turkish straits. But thanks to the military incompetence of the higher commands, it ended in tragedy and unimaginable suffering, as the battle turned into a war of nerves largely played out in the hellish setting of the tunnels constantly being built by either side. The human cost was vast, with more than 50,000 Allied soldiers losing their lives, and it became known as the most controversial action of the war. The author was one of the 400,000 British and Empire troops who took part and along with his comrades from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, showed extraordinary heroism and courage in the face of terrible hardship and danger.

Download or read book Gallipoli written by Les Carlyon and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive work and national bestseller "The book of the year" Alan Ramsey, Sydney Morning Herald Les Carlyon's Gallipoli is the epic story of the fighting men who forged the legend of Anzac in 1915. Taking the reader behind the lines and into the trenches, Gallipoli not only brings an infamous battlefield to vivid life but puts poignant breath in the bones of the ordinary heroes who lived and died there. War stories are rarely this personal but Carlton's meticulous research and mesmeric storytelling take readers up-close with the conflict like never before, poetically evoking an ancient landscape rooted in myth, a theatre for Alexander the Great, St Paul and the Trojan Wars, and then intimately populating it with soldiers, generals and politicians from the Allied and Turkish forces. A century on from the Anzac landing on 25 April 1915, Les Carlyon's Gallipoli endures, a masterpiece every bit as haunting and heartbreaking as the events it records. Once read, it is never forgotten.

Download or read book Gallipoli 1915 written by Joseph Murray and published by Silvertail Books. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 1915, the Gallipoli campaign was intended to knock the Turkish Empire out of the First World War and open a supply route to Russia, strengthening the allies immeasurably in the process. But thanks to the military incompetence of the higher commands, it ended in tragedy and unimaginable suffering, as the battle turned into a war of nerves largely played out in the hellish setting of the tunnels constantly being built by either side. The human cost was vast, with more than 50,000 Allied soldiers losing their lives, and it became known as the most controversial action of the war. Joseph Murray was one of the 400,000 British and Empire troops who took part and along with his comrades from the UK, Australia and New Zealand, showed extraordinary heroism and courage in the face of terrible hardship and danger. GALLIPOLI 1915 is his account of the campaign. Based on a diary Murray kept at the time and his later letters home, this riveting and detailed true story of a young man at war serves as a stunning tribute to the bravery shown by Murray and his fellow soldiers, and to the sacrifices they made in the name of their country.
Download or read book Blood and Dirt written by Jared Davidson and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picture, for a minute, every artwork of colonial New Zealand you can think of. Now add a chain gang. Hard-labour men guarded by other men with guns. Men moving heavy metal. Men picking at the earth. Over and over again. This was the reality of nineteenth-century New Zealand. Forced labour haunts the streets we walk today and the spaces we take for granted. The unfree work of prisoners has shaped New Zealand's urban centres and rural landscapes, and Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa – the Pacific – in profound and unsettling ways. Yet these stories are largely unknown: a hidden history in plain sight. Blood and Dirt explains, for the first time, the making of New Zealand and its Pacific empire through the prism of prison labour. Jared Davidson asks us to look beyond the walls of our nineteenth- and early twentieth-century prisons to see penal practice as playing an active, central role in the creation of modern New Zealand. Journeying from the Hohi mission station in the Bay of Islands through to Milford Sound, vast forest plantations, and on to Parliament itself, this vivid and engaging book will change the way you view New Zealand.

Book Synopsis From Gallipoli to Coopers Creek by : Cate Davis
Download or read book From Gallipoli to Coopers Creek written by Cate Davis and published by . This book was released on 2015-10 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of one soldier of the so called Great War. He sailed from Australia at the end of 1914, a proud, even bombastic youth with the certainty that he would do his bit to save Mother England and by doing so, set the world on the right path. He was totally ignorant of the real causes of this war and the place that the different countries played in it.When he landed at Gallipoli though and found the air permeated with the stench of the hundreds of rotting bodies still lying where they had fallen a month earlier, he was confronted by the reality and horror of war. He records his first shot in his diary - it was far from the first time he had fired a gun, but it was the first time he had deliberately fired a shot with the intent of killing another human being.The evacuation of Gallipoli, then the inept defeat at Gaza and the realisation that he had to become a completely different person to be able to obey the orders he was given weighed heavily on his soul. Gandhi once said that 'Man finds himself by losing himself', and this is the story of how Lieutenant Bruce Campbell struggled to find himself and the difficulties he had in fitting back into a society where the civilians were still thinking in terms of their pre-war society.Returning home brought no joy either. Even things that he expected to be familiar nowseemed strange and no one at home had any idea of what the war was really like. To make matters worse, he was dumped by his fiance.This biographical novel is about his struggles to overcome all these adversities. He finally falls in love with a woman who has also been adversely affected by the war and has her own obstacles to overcome. Between them, they carve out a happy and meaningful life on the block of land Bruce has been granted under the Soldier Settlement Scheme. It is a heartwarming story about the legacy of the war and the healing power of love.

Book excerpt: IT WAS A MISSION IMPOSSIBLEOn 25 April 1915 -- the day the Anzacs landed at Gallipoli -- Lieutenant Commander DacreStoker set out as captain of the Australian submarine AE2 on a mission to breach the treacherous Dardanelles Strait with the intention of disrupting Turkish supply lines to theisolated Gallipoli peninsula. Facing dangerous currents, mines and withering enemy fire,Stoker and his men succeeded where British and French submarines had come to grief.Stoker's achievement meant much in military terms, and even more emotionally in boostingthe morale of embattled Allied troops. But what was proclaimed at the time as 'the finest feat in submarine history' has since sunk into oblivion.Few Australians even know their country had a submarine at Gallipoli, much less that it achieveddaring feats, torpedoed an enemy craft, and possibly played a pivotal role in Anzac troopsstaying on the beachhead for eight months. Now, finally, Stoker's Submarine tells the storyof a remarkable naval hero and the men under his command. And AE2 herself, still lying intacton the fl oor of the Sea of Marmara, is celebrated as the most tangible relic of Australia's roleat Gallipoli, the crucible of nationhood.

Book Synopsis ANTWERP TO GALLIPOLI - A Year of the War on Many Fronts - and Behind Them [Illustrated Edition] by : Arthur Brown Ruhl
Download or read book ANTWERP TO GALLIPOLI - A Year of the War on Many Fronts - and Behind Them [Illustrated Edition] written by Arthur Brown Ruhl and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes Gallipoli Campaign Map and Illustrations Pack -71 photos and 31 maps of the campaign spanning the entire period of hostilities. Written in the tumultuous days of the opening months of the First World War, American writer Arthur Ruhl was one of the few English speaking journalists who saw first-hand behind the German and Turkish lines. He initially reported from the Belgian front, and accompanied the German Army as it marched to seeming victory; but they were bloodily stopped at the battle of the Marne by the French and then again by the British at Ypres. Ruhl then travelled to the far side of Europe to report on the struggles between the Turkish army and the British, French and Anzac forces at Gallipoli. The book he penned is vivid, immediate and filled with graphic vignettes of the fighting that he witnessed. Warmly recommended.
Download or read book Watson's Pier written by Joshua Funder and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 20 December 1977, as Stanley Watson takes the slow train journey to family Christmas, memories from over 60 years ago play in his mind. He had been and still was a man of his time, as as steady, simple and direct as the railway lines he built. As an engineer in the 28th Signalling Company, recently wed and with a young child, he knew it to be his duty to enlist as soon as war broke out in 1914. He left for Egypt in October and he knows his wife is pregnant as he reaches Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, a participant in that fateful landing that is writ large in Australian history. He survived that landing to construct the first pier at Anzac Cove, from which the Anzacs withdrew on the nights of 18 and 19 December. For a long time, he was known as the last man to leave Gallipoli. Watson's Pier is a beautifully told story as seen through the eyes of Stanley Watson, one of the leaders of the escape from Gallipoli. It draws on Watson’s story, his writing, oral history and the official war records. While telling one man's remarkable experience of war for the first time, Watson's Pier challenges history on the final moments at ANZAC Cove and offers a new perspective on the meaning of Gallipoli.
