The Fight for Constantinople: A Story of the Gallipoli Peninsula
1915
1915. The Allied fleet masses at the Dardanelles. Across the narrow strait, Constantinople beckons and the Ottoman defenses stand ready. This is the Gallipoli Peninsula, where empires will collide and a young protagonist finds himself thrust into one of the Great War's most audacious campaigns. Westerman, master of boy's adventure fiction from the Edwardian era, crafts a rousing tale of courage amid the chaos of naval bombardment and landing operations. The fight for Constantinople becomes more than a military objective: it is a crucible where ordinary individuals face extraordinary danger. Written during the war itself, this novel captures the adventurous spirit and patriotic fervor that defined British popular fiction of the period, while offering readers a vivid historical snapshot of the Gallipoli campaign that would later become legendary. For readers who enjoy period adventure fiction and World War I history, this is a fascinating artifact of early war storytelling.
