NZ Military

An engrossing exploration of a remarkable period in military history, this work includes original black and white historical photographs throughout. "The Spirit of Gallipoli" explores the roots of the Anzac legend and digs deep into the bedrock of the Australian character to examine the spirit that sets them apart and enables them to so often punch above their weight on the world stage. Lindsay places the Gallipoli campaign in context, telling the story of a doomed operation through the eyes of those who were there, delving into the remarkable spirit which sustained the Anzacs as they clung to survival in a baptism of fire, so many miles away from their homeland. It is a must-read for all those who desire to understand the nature of the Anzac spirit and where it was forged.
