Why read it?
1 author picked Churchill and the Dardanelles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It is very difficult to say something new about the Dardanelles campaign and even harder to say something new about Winston Churchill, but without resorting to exaggeration or conspiracy theories, this book manages to do both. It offers a forensic examination of the background to the failed attempt to force the straits and a comprehensive survey of Churchill’s subsequent attempts to ensure that the re-telling of that failure did not rebound to his discredit. There is no better book on this topic.
From Matthew's list on Churchill’s First World War Navy.
