Newspaper Article
Age does not weary Gallipoli account
2007
Overview
New Zealanders often hear only about the fighting that took place around the Anzac Cove area. When this reviewer was privileged to visit the area in 2001, it was this part of [Gallipoli] that the Australian and New Zealand visitors were shown. [Alan Moorehead]'s account covers the whole region. Some parts of the narrative contradict other accounts of the fighting as they have been portrayed since. There is no mention of the lifting of the British pre-attack barrage that made the Lone Pine encounter so costly for the Australians, as portrayed in the film Gallipoli, and the description of the battle for Chunuk Bair makes little comment about the naval friendly fire that allegedly killed many New Zealanders. If you are planning a trip to Gallipoli, read this book then update your knowledge with Chris Pugsley's Gallipoli: The New Zealand Story or, for an Australian point of view, Patrick Carlyon's The Gallipoli Story. Also, take along Ian McGibbon's Gallipoli: A Guide to New Zealand Battlefields and Memorials. - A
