Alan Moorehead (1910-1983) was a foreign correspondent for the London Daily Express, where he won an international reputation for his coverage of World War II campaigns, and also served as the chief public relations officer in the Ministry of Defense. He is also the author of many other notable books, including Gallipoli and Darwin and the Beagle.
Deserves to be ranked among the very best books on the
subject....It is masterly in its reconstruction of the development
of the strategical situation on both sides, impartial in its
handling of the bitter controversies which raged during and after
the campaign, and sympathetic in its treatment of the individual
who made (or more frequently lost) reputations at
Gallipoli.--Gordon A. Craig, New York Herald Tribune Book
Review
"Captain B.H. Liddell Hart calls it 'a masterpiece' but no single
word or brief review can convey the excitement, the richness, and
the power of Alan Moorehead's new book."--S.L.A. Marshall, Saturday
Review
"The story is told superbly. 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 Times
