Book details

Book description

More than 30,000 Australians visit Gallipoli annually, and the numbers are increasing each year as the 2015 centenary of the landing draws closer. This practical guide book enables them to plan their trip, work out what to see and in what order, and gives the historical background to the major battles. It gives all the necessary information - both practical and historical - to appreciate what happened, and where. Detailed tours (both walking and with transport) are described, and accompanied by specially drawn maps. Mat McLachlan is one of Australia's leading war historians and battlefield guides, and has spent more than a decade following in the footsteps of Australian troops on battlefields around the world. His 2007 book, WALKING WITH THE ANZACS, is considered the definitive guide to Australian battlefields on the Western Front. Mat also produced the First World War documentary 'Lost in Flanders' and appears regularly as a historian on the ABC, The History Channel and Channel 7's 'Sunrise'.
