Because Mr. Moorehead knows what a battlefield looks, smells, and sounds like, the reader gets the 'feel' of the battle.I have read no better descriptive writing about either world war." -- Drew Middleton, New York TimesWhen Turkey unexpectedly sided with Germany in World War I, Winston Churchill as First Sea Lord for the British conceived a plan of smashing through the Dardanelles, reopening the Straits to Russian shipping, and immobilizing the Turks.On the night of March 18, 1915, this plan nearly succeeded--the Turks were virtually beaten. But poor communication left the Allies in the dark, allowing the Turks to prevail and the Allies to suffer a crushing quarter-million casualties.
