“Another in the fantastic Battleground series of Great War histories combined with battlefield guides . . . with a good narrative and personal accounts.” —The Great War Magazine The landing at Suvla Bay, part of the August Offensive, commenced on the night of 6 August 1915. It was intended to support a breakout from Anzac Beach. Despite early hopes from a largely unopposed landing, Suvla was a mismanaged affair that quickly became a stalemate. The newly formed IX Corps, commanded by Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Stopford, failed, not for lack of sacrifice by its New Army and Territorials, but because of a failure of generalship. Opportunities were thoughtlessly wasted due to lethargy. Suvla not only signaled the end of Stopford and many of his Brigadiers, but also saw the end of the Commander in Chief, Sir Ian Hamilton. It was the beginning of the end of the Gallipoli gamble and in its own right created a catalyst of disaster that would come to represent the failed campaign. This book adds to the Gallipoli story by recounting the Suvla Bay landing through a mix of official accounts intertwined with a rich collection of the participants letters, diaries, personal accounts, photographs and maps. “Chock-a-block with excellent personal experience quotes, some old favourites to be sure, but many of them will be new to most readers. They are skilfully woven into the account, bringing the fighting alive and illustrating the manifold confusions of this truly awful battle. The text is also wonderfully illustrated with photos and crystal-clear maps. A splendid book that I found invaluable during my recent visits to Gallipoli.” —Stand To!DESC> History;world war I;great war;WWI;travel;battlefield guide;reference;map;military history;british history;20th century;british military history;battleground Gallipoli;turkey;suvla bay landing;august offensive;anzac beach;lieutenant general sir Frederick stopford;new army;territorials;generalship failure;brigadiers;sir ian hamilton;commander in chief;disaster;failed campaign;diary;personal account;1915;stalemate;tourist;traveler;traveller;scimitar hill;battle of kucuk anafarta ova;ottoman fifth army;general otto liman von sanders HIS027090 HISTORY / Wars & Conflicts / World War I TRV026110 TRAVEL / Special Interest / Military REF002000 REFERENCE / Atlases, Gazetteers & Maps HIS027000 HISTORY / Military / General HIS015070 HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / 20th Century 9781781598085 Falklands Hero: Ian McKay—The last VC of the 20th Century Jon CookseyShow book
Janet Malcolm delves into the psychopathology of journalism using a strange and unprecedented lawsuit as her larger-than-life example: the lawsuit of Jeffrey MacDonald, a convicted murderer, against Joe McGinniss, the author of Fatal Vision. Examining the always uneasy, sometimes tragic relationship that exists between journalist and subject, Malcolm finds that neither journalist nor subject can avoid the moral impasse that is built into the journalistic situation.This book is a work of journalism as well as an essay on journalism: it at once exemplifies and dissects its subject. In her interviews with the leading and subsidiary characters in the MacDonald-McGinniss case, Malcolm is always aware of herself as a player in a game that she cannot lose. The journalist-subject encounter has always troubled journalists, but never before has it been looked at so unflinchingly and so ruefully. Hovering over the narrative is the MacDonald murder case itself. The Journalist and the Murderer derives from and reflects many of the dominant intellectual concerns of our time, and it will have a particular appeal for those who cherish the odd, the off-center, and the unsolved.Show book
