Gallipoli is perhaps New Zealand's most enduring myth, our 'finest hour', a bitter, bloody and tragic campaign in which 2721 young men lost their lives of the 8556 who fought there. The campaign is glorified in our observance of Anzac Day, but the true story of New Zealand's involvement has never been comprehensively told. Army historian Christopher Pugsley, an expert in the campaign, has now collated his extensive research and interviews with survivors to provide a narrative which takes into account every aspect of Gallipoli and its impact on both the New Zealanders who fought there and on the country that sent them. Gallipoli - The New Zealand Story provides the first major evaluation of one of our most important historical events, and many decades after the battle, strips bare the myth of Anzac and does justice to the reality of that epic campaign.

This is a narrative history of the campaign in the Gallipoli peninsula. As it says in the title, it deals with the experience of New Zealand troops, whose part in the campaign might be overlooked in the UK. It is not a political analysis of the campaign. Nor does it deal in detail with the tactical moves. It relies on quotations from men in the field to tell the story. It contains many photographs. Although written by an army historian it is more popular than many military histories. Within its terms of reference the work weaves the events of Gallipoli in a readable way.
