The Campaign in Gallipoli - Hans Kannengiesser

Major General Hans Kannengeisser was initially employed to conduct an inspection of the Ottoman forces in Northern Anatolia, to assess their ability to mobilise for war, but on the outbreak of war he found that his role would significantly change. Initially expecting to be recalled to Germany he was given the Ottoman rank of Pasha and led the 9th Division of Von Sanders' fifth army during the Gallipoli campaign.

This book is an interesting, and rare, opportunity to study the campaign on Gallipoli form 'the other side of the hill' and Kannengeisser takes care to pay tribute to the courage of all the combatant nations.
