"The Gallipoli campaign of 1915 serves as an excellent case study through which the process of 'making history' can be observed. This edited book traces the disparities in the memory of 'Gallipoli' evident among the countries that participated in the campaign. It explores the way in which history is written at the personal, local, professional and, ultimately, the national level." "This book will be of interest to upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history and historiography of World War I."--Jacket.
How does the memory of the 1915 Gallipoli campaign diverge across the various nations that participated in the conflict? Jenny Macleod, a historian specializing in the cultural memory of the Great War, examines the construction of historical narratives surrounding this specific campaign. By analyzing how personal, local, and professional accounts coalesce into national myths, the author provides a framework for understanding the subjective nature of historical record-keeping.
