Publishers Description: "Nothing can alter what happened now: Anzac stood and still stands for reckless valour in a good cause, for enterprise, resourcefulness, fidelity, comradeship and endurance that will never admit defeat." - World War I correspondent Charles Bean. The Gallipoli campaign of 1915 was a series of deadly battles. In just eight months, more than 11,000 Australians and New Zealanders died. To commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Anzac landing, Gallipoli: Untold Stories tells the real story through the private diaries and newspaper reports of Charles Bean, Australias official war correspondent and Sydney Morning Herald journalist. Beans misgivings about the campaign are reinforced by graphic and rarely seen photographs taken by Age photographer Phillip Schuler. There are also precious stories from the front line, collected in a exhaustive search for letters, diaries and memorabilia from the families of Australian and New Zealand soldiers who served on Gallipoli. Ninety years on it is time to read the truth about Australia and New Zealands first campaign as young nations. Gallipoli: Untold Stories reveals the reality behind the myth, and brings to life the impact and tragedy of a war that gives us the legend of Anzac. Author Biography: Jonathan King brings history to life and has done so in three other Gallipoli books. After discovering 20 of his relatives fought at Gallipoli, he visited Anzac and set about interviewing the remaining veterans. This is his third book on Gallipoli and the first to focus on war correspondent Charles Bean and the rarely seen photographs by war photographer Phillip Schuler. Michael Bowers works at The Sydney Morning Herald. He completed an apprenticeship at the Australian War Memorial and discovered a number of ancestors who served at Gallipoli, so is especially keen to bring to life the work of the great war photographers.
