[A] comprehensive history of the whole of the Gallipoli campaign ... Some notable Australian writers are among the many letter-writers and diarists and their writing skills stand out ... King starts the book with some thoughts about why Australia as a nation celebrates what was, after all, a crushing defeat.' --Nick Goldie Cooma-Monaro Express 'In Jonathan King's Gallipoli Diaries we share the experiences of the diggers from day one ... It is a story that is spoken in the sometimes halting words of the soldiers and therein lies its power. There is much here to enlarge our understanding of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign -- not least the appalling conditions in the trenches, the daily grind of water carrying, poor food, flies and death.' --Christopher Bantick Books + Publishing
