Evan's Gallipoli (2013)
“Rees, Peter, The Other Anzacs, Allen & Unwin, Sydney, 2008.
The Times History of the Great War Lonely Planet Guidebooks to Greece and Turkey There is no good textbook which explains the chaos in Thrace at the time of the Gallipoli campaign—at least, I couldn’t find one. If you look at the map you can see how poor Thrace is in exactly the wrong place if Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey want to attack each other. The European equivalent is Poland, right in the middle between Russia and Germany. As som...eone said, if you pitch your tent in the middle of a highway you should expect to get run over. Which doesn’t help, of course, if that’s where you have always lived and you have no place to go.
Any attempt to explain the history of Greece against Turkey and Turkey against Thrace and Thrace against Bulgaria and so on in a book like this would stun the brain of my readers. In any case I would have to begin with the Ottoman Empire and the Crusades, which is a long time ago. If you are curious, I suggest you look at a Turkish history, a Greek history and a Bulgarian history, not forgetting the Armenians, and decide for yourself.MoreLess
