Walking the Gallipoli Peninsula : making the most of your visit to the battlefields by Tony Wright.Tony Wright first travelled to Gallipoli with Australian Prime Minister John Howard in 2000. He found himself intrigued by the swelling crowds of mainly young people making the pilgrimage to Anzac Cove. He returned again and again over the decade, shouldering a backpack containing his great-uncle's Gallipoli diary. Along the way he fell in love with Istanbul and the nation of Turkey. He has learned the secrets of both Istabul and the Gallipoli region, and explored underground Cappadocia, while meeting many colourful and memorable characters on his journey.
This book is different from the battlefield guides, it is a travel adventure to inspire you to shoulder your backpack, hop on a flight and follow Tony Wright's footsteps through Turkey and the Gallipoli Peninsula.
If you do want a battlefield guide, you can't go wrong with local authors Pam Cupper & Phil Taylor's "Gallipoli : a battlefield guide".
