French involvement in the Gallipoli episode is very poorly covered in the English language. And yet they did have a significant presence at one time or another during the campaign, whether on land or at sea. This book aims to provide another dimension to this controversial campaign. It is written by a seasoned Great War author, who investigates the reasons for the French participation in the campaign and their subsequent decision making progress. As such, this book has to be a valuable addition to the Collection.
