Description
|
|
|
|
The British Navy's catastrophic attempt to take Gallipoli and pass through the Dardanelles to Constantinople was a turning point in World War I, and its repercussions are with us still today, posits naval military expert Dan van der Vat. He puts forward the case that the botched 1915 invasion, enthusiastically promoted by then–First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, prolonged the war by two years, fueled the Russian Revolution, forced Britain to the brink of starvation, and contributed to the destabilization of the Middle East.
