Great Gallipoli book!
Gallipoli: The Dardanelles Disaster in Soldiers' Words and Photographs
Richard van Emden & Stephen Chambers
£25 pp. 344
Bloomsbury, 2015
This is a beautifully written and illustrated look at the campaign, adorned with quotes from some marvellous personal experience accounts. Quite a few are well-known, almost like 'old friends', but simply too powerful to be omitted; others seem vibrantly fresh. Most Read more of this blog post »

Peter’s Recent Updates
“It’s not just tougher out there. It’s become a situation where the contest is how much you can destroy the system, rather than how much you can make it work. It makes no difference if you have a ‘D’ or an ‘R’ after your name. There’s no sense that this is about democracy, and after the election you have to work together, and knit the country together. The people in the game now just think to the first Tuesday in November, and not a day beyond it.”

“This is what is called dying for your country, but it is actually selling your soul to a few profiteers for a shilling, and being massacred to satisfy their selfish purposes. And they call it WAR--and a legitimate thing at that.
