Description: "The Gallipoli campaign of 1915 serves as an excellent case study through which the process of 'making history' can be observed. This edited book traces the disparities in the memory of 'Gallipoli' evident among the countries that participated in the campaign. It explores the way in which history is written at the personal, local, professional and, ultimately, the national level." "This book will be of interest to upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history and historiography of World War I."--Jacket.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
