A review by josiahdegraaf
Gallipoli by Peter Hart

dark sad slow-paced

3.5

This is a very thorough book, and one should not take my three star rating as a sign that it was poorly-written. Just an acknowledgement that, as a lay reader, this book was a bit overly detailed for my tastes. I did appreciate the meticulous research and primary sources quoted in this historical account, even if they contributed to the granular details that sometimes made the book feel like a slog. I also very much appreciated the conclusion that tied a lot of disparate ends together.

As a whole: probably not the best book for the lay reader, but if you want a comprehensive, in-depth look at what happened at Gallipoli, this book should be right up your alley!

Rating: 3.5 Stars (Good).
