It is an intensive study of the disastrous British campaign in which there were nearly half a million Allied and Turkish injured and dead. The Australian and New Zealand forces were heavily committed in this action and took heavy losses. Churchill, as First Lord of the Admiralty, was heavily involved in the planning of the action and when it was all over, he was censured for even attempting this bold attack. He fell out of favour and did not recover until Chamberlain's fall in the early days of WWII. .
