註釋An epic of gallantry and folly -- the whole story of the most controversial campaign of modern times.
The Allied campaign against Gallipoli began in 1915 when the Turks went into World War I on Germany's side.

For years the Turks had been beaten in every battle they fought, and the project stood a reasonable chance of success.
But what happened in the next nine months was a nightmare of lost opportunities, confused planning, and military incompetence.
