СКАЧАТЬ Hamilton and Gallipoli: British Command in the Age of Military БЕСПЛАТНО EPUB - DOC - DJVU - RTF - PDFОписание: This is a study of Sir Ian Hamilton VCs command of the Gallipoli campaign.Appointed by Kitchener after the failure of the initial Allied naval offensive in the Dardanelles, Hamilton was to lead the ambitious amphibious landings that were intended to open the way to Constantinople.
In the event, however, opportunities immediately after the landings were squandered and, in the face of unexpectedly effective Turkish resistance, soon stalled in attritional trench warfare like that on the Western Front. Hamilton has often been criticized for this failure and in many ways seen to typify the stereotype of a British general clinging to outdated Victorian thinking. Yet this fresh reappraisal, drawing on original archival research.
