In hardback we sold almost 60,000 copies in the first four months of publication. The paperback has become one of our core backlist titles, with sales of well over 100,000 copies to date. This new edition places the book in Picador for the first time, and is designed to sit alongside a new edition of The Great War.Carlyon's book brilliantly captures the tragedy of the Gallipoli campaign, and grippingly tells the story of what was to become our national myth. It is the product of meticulous scholarship and research, it is writing of the highest quality, but above all else it is a work of extraordinary storytelling that has the reader gripped from the very first page until the last (over 600 odd pages). As one of the reviews has pointed out, Gallipoli is the definitive history for whole new generation of readers.
