Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Some faint marks on tail foredges. Author has inscribed inside page.

It is 1915, during World War I at Gallipoli, and Lt. Roy Irwin is missing. The young woman who loves him, and the men who fought beside him, begin their search for Lt. Irwin.

Later, in 1919, historian C.E.W. Bean returns to Anzac Cove with artist George Lambert and soldier Harry Vickers to solve the greatest mystery of the campaign, to discover Gallipoli's secret.

Forward to 2015, and Dr. Mark Troy's quest to preserve the peninsula from roadworks is sidetracked by political intervention and diplomatic intrigue. However, a flirtation with a dynamic young woman from Army Intelligence uncovers long-forgotten documents that protect Gallipoli's graves.

In this eagerly awaited book, one of Australia's leading historians employs a playful hybrid of history and fiction, moving between the historical realm and the world of imagination, to recreate the most dramatic moments of the Gallipoli campaign during World War I.
