Seller's Description:
Near Fine. An excellent study of the Gallipoli catastrophe. Higgins focuses on the "war in Whitehall " of 1915 and the failures in the political direction of the War. Higgins' treatment of Fisher is very perceptive ( following the theme offered by this famous quote: " So Jacky's growing roses, is he? Well, all I've got to say is that those roses will damned well have to grow ". ) Higgings also does a good job in documenting the importance of the Dardanelles over time to the British, witness Lord Salisbury to Lord Randolph Churchill (1886): " You are naturally sarcastic about my Dardanelles, and I hope the matter will not come up in our time. I consider the loss of Constantinople would be the ruin of our party and a heavy blow to the country ". Dust jacket shows wear and small chips at top and bottom. Dust jacket is protected with a mylar cover.
