520 The failure of the Gallipoli campaign was instantly blamed
on a great untruth—that the War Office was unprepared.
This book, incorporating information unavailable elsewhere,
shows that in fact the WO and the Admiralty had amassed a
huge amount of data. Aerial reconnaissance had played a
part—even Lawrence of Arabia had done his bit! The War
Office knew all about Greek plans to capture the peninsula,
and one plan was even Anglo-Greek. The authors examine all
the intelligence and how it was used or ignored and in the
process, in the words of the late Richard Holmes, they
"illuminate a wildly beautiful landscape, which never
fails to charm and shock me in equal measure."
