| Summary | "The Dardanelles Campaign" by Henry Woodd Nevinson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the significant military operation during World War I, focusing on the Allied effort to seize control of the Dardanelles Strait with the strategic goal of reaching Constantinople. Nevinson aims to provide a detailed representation of the campaign's outcomes, analyzing both the tactical decisions and their implications amid the broader context of the war. At the start of the narrative, Nevinson expresses his fascination with the Dardanelles Campaign, citing its historical significance rooted in ancient epics and the potential strategic advantages of a successful operation. The beginning outlines the initial naval bombardment by an Anglo-French squadron on November 3, 1914, which set the stage for the campaign. Nevinson reflects on the decision-making dynamics among prominent leaders, including Winston Churchill and Lord Kitchener, and the strategic miscalculations that followed, leading to the eventual military disaster. He emphasizes the tragic nature of the campaign, portraying the forces involved as both brave and beleaguered by fate as they faced the challenges of warfare in this historically rich region.
