Robert Dunlop Posted 26 June , 2010 Share Posted 26 June , 2010 ISBN 1844159671. Superb new book on the Ottoman perspective of Gallipoli. Erickson has provided extensive insights into the preparations for and execution of the defense of Gallipoli. He has drawn on multiple Turkish sources, including detailed maps. Erickson traces the effects of the Balkans Wars on the defensive preparations. The training of the Ottoman defenders is described in some detail. The Ottoman attacks, counter-attacks and defensive operations are considered at tactical and operational levels. Erickson has looked at command and control, as well as logistics operations. The insights place the campaign into a clearer perspective, dousing many of the traditional views of the Ottoman Army that have been perpetrated in the English literature. Superb. Highly recommended.
