The Dardanelles Disaster - Van Der Vat

The Dardanelles Disaster. Winston Churchill's Greatest Defeat by Dan Van Der Vat. From the blurb: 'Acclaimed naval military expert Dan van der Vat argues that the disaster at the Dardanelles prolonged the war by two years, led to the Russian Revolution, forced Britain to the brink of starvation, and contributed to the destabilization of the Middle East. With never before published information on Colonel Geehl's mine laying operation, which won the battle for the Germans, The Dardanelles Disaster is essential reading for everyone interested in great naval history, Churchill's early career, and World War I.' Illustrated. Hardcover. 226pp.
