Gallipoli : the landing (2012)

Gallipoli : the landing by Hugh Dolan & Mal Gandiner The Gallipoli legend that we know is not our own. Somehow, we have stolen the British experience of a dawn slaughter on a beach further south, under Turkish guns. The Australian landing on Z Beach, our allotted coast, was tactically brilliant. ANZAC officers planned their own amphibious assault without the interference of British officers, who were content to row ashore in daylight against a prepared enemy. Z Beach True Comics presents the facts. Gallipoli: the landing is a non-fiction account of how ANZAC officers used all available intelligence to plan a surprise night assault using stealth on ANZAC Cove. This graphic narrative follows the roles of espionage, spying, and the use of aerial reconnaissance which provided ANZAC officers with the military intelligence to plan an effective assault despite a heavily defended coast.

Experiences of the Great War by Susan Johnston Experiences of the Great War 1914-1918 provides students with a wide selection of documents and photographs - many of which have not previously been published in a school textbook. Through this material students will see into the experiences of the men and women who lived and died during that war. In addition to the primary source material, all chapters include an explanatory text and many enquiry based questions that encourage students to define and explore the issues of war, its prelude and its aftermath. The main focus of the book is on Australia but attention is also given to British and German expriences, and all are seen in the perspective of the main events of the war. The book begins with a discussion of the general background and causes of the war and then looks at major issues such as recruitment, propaganda, conscription, opposition to the war, the home fronts, life in the trenches and the main military campaigns.

Gallipoli : the landing by Hugh Dolan & Mal Gardiner The truth about the assault on Gallipoli is finally being told – panel by panel. Gallipoli: The Landing takes the events of 25 April 1915 and presents them in a full-colour comic that's action-packed but historically accurate. Rather than a botched attack planned by indifferent British generals, the Gallipoli campaign was carefully thought out, and included an amphibious attack on the beach by Anzac officers. Hugh Dolan and Mal Gardiner bring the real story to life, describing the lead-up and the attack on Gallipoli in detail – from both sides of the fighting.
