When Australian troops stormed ashore in the pre-dawn darkness of
April 25th 1915, it was the culmination of one of the most complex and
daunting operations in the history of warfare - the seaborne assault of
a heavily fortified shore, defended by a well-prepared and forewarned
enemy.
The risks were enormous, and the death toll on the beach at Anzac
Cove could have been murderous - as it was with the British landings
further south. Yet the Anzacs had been allowed to organise their own
assault, and their ingenuity, intelligence gathering and willingness to
do the unorthodox allowed them to seize a foothold and fulfil the task
they had been set by their commanders. All too often the scale of that
task and the successful way the Anzacs approached it have been
overshadowed by events later in the campaign.
Hugh Dolan, an intelligence officer in the Australian Defence Force,
has minutely re-examined the assault itself, giving us a day-by-day
account of the build up to the landing that shows a very different side
to the Gallipoli story. Using a host of previously unpublished material
and research, he has produced a riveting work of narrative history that
sheds a fresh light on the original Anzacs.
About The Author
Hugh Dolan is a Squadron Leader in the Australian Air Force, a life
that he enjoys and recommends to others. He is currently researching
the air battles over Gallipoli at the Australian Defence Force Academy.
He has worked in minor headquarters roles in Australia and overseas. He
describes his military service to be within range of map tables and the
coffee percolator. His military career started 15 years ago with
enlistment in the British Army as a private. He served in Bosnia as a
junior NCO and witnessed the importance of military intelligence in
operation planning. He confesses that he initially joined the army
after barely graduating with a masters degree in history from Oxford
University to pay overdue bills and to see how history is written.
