The failure of the Gallipoli campaign was instantly blamed on a great untruth – that the War Office was unprepared. This book, incorporating information unavailable elsewhere, shows that in fact the WO and the Admiralty had amassed a huge amount of data. Aerial reconnaissance had played a part – even Lawrence of Arabia had done his bit! The War Office knew all about Greek plans to capture the peninsula and one plan was even Anglo-Greek. The authors examine all the intelligence and how it was used or ignored and in the process, in the words of the late Richard Holmes they ‘illuminate a wildly beautiful landscape, which never fails to charm and shock me in equal measure.’

Dr PETER CHASSEAUD is the acknowledged expert on First World War survey and mapping, and an acclaimed military historian. He was a commissioner on the A19 (Ypres battlefield) project, and is involved in battlefield archaeology and research. In his long career, he has worked for TV and on the Naval and Military Press/Imperial War Museum/National Archives 1914–18 trench map CD and DVD projects, and has also published several books. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a member of the Royal United Services Institute. PETER DOYLE specialises in the understanding of military terrain, with special reference to the two world wars. A member of the British Commission of Military History, and co-secretary of the Parliamentary All Party War Graves and Battlefield Heritage Group, he is the author of a number of works of military history.
