THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AND THE ROLE OF LEMNOS

In English. Soft cover, 24 cm, 316 pp., ill. ISBN: 9789604852307.

The centenary of the Gallipoli Campaign provided a good opportunity for a better understanding of its connection with the First World War in the Mediterranean and its relation with its staging posts, Lemnos and the Northern Aegean islands. This was the aim of the international Conference "The First World War in the Mediterranean - ANZAC and the role of Lemnos", 26-28 June 2015. Eminent scholars from most of the participating countries in the Gallipoli Campaign, selectively pulled many threads (diplomatic, strategic, operational, tactical, political, humanitarian and social) of this unprecedented amphibious operation, and stressed the importance of its base of operations, the island of Lemnos. The commemoration of the dead of the First World War in Greece was also treated and an attempt was made to explore the ways in which the First World War heritage of Lemnos may become ever more relevant, in terms of academics and tourism.
