Review:

With a preface by the director of Gallipoli, Peter Weir, this book includes the complete screenplay by Australian playwright David Williamson along with two chapters of Bill Gammage's Australian classic The Broken Years (see below) which recount the the Anzac campaign at Gallipoli.

This book provides a compelling record of that ill-fated military campaign at Gallipoli in 1915, through historical photographs and eyewitness accounts of the Anzacs who fought in it.

The Story of Gallipoli also presents by way of the complete screenplay, comments of the director and still photographs, an insight into the process of attempting to capture the spirit of a legend in a film.
