Bell 210 $cOUP Oxford 311 $a0-19-870255-8 311 $a0-19-870254-X 330 8 $aThe failure of the Allied fleet to force a passage through the Straits of the Dardanelles in 1915 drove Winston Churchill from office (First Lord of the Admiralty) in disgrace and nearly destroyed his political career. For over a century, Churchill has been both praised and condemned for his role in launching this highly controversial campaign. For some, the Dardanelles offensive was a brilliant concept that might have dramatically shortened the First World War. To many others, however, Churchill was a reckless amateur who drove his unwilling and misinformed colleagues into a venture that was doomed to fail. This book, based on exhaustive archival research, provides a detailed and authoritative account of the Gallipoli campaign's origins and execution, stripping away the layers of myth that have long surrounded these dramatic events, and showing that no simple verdict is either possible or fair. Naval historian Christopher M. Bell untangles Churchill's complicated relationship with the dynamic First Sea Lord, Admiral Jacky Fisher, and reveals for the first time the behind-the-scenes machinations that led to Churchill's removal from office, including Fisher's covert campaign to undermine support for the Dardanelles operation, and the leaks by figures in high places that fuelled a bitter press campaign to drive Churchill from power. Equal attention is also given to the perhaps even more important story of Churchill and the Dardanelles after 1915. As Bell shows, Churchill spent a good deal of time and effort in the following two decades trying to refute his critics and convince the wider public that the campaign had in fact nearly succeeded. These efforts were so successful that the legacy of the Dardanelles did not stand in the way of Churchill becoming Prime Minister in May 1940--Provided by publisher. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$zTurkey$zGallipoli Peninsula 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$zTurkey$zGallipoli Peninsula$xPublic opinion 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$xPublic opinion. 676 $a940.4/26 700 $aBell$b Christopher M.$01139129 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792650703321 996 $aChurchill and the Dardanelles$93775809 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03069nam 22005775 450 001 9910337898303321 005 20200705014909.0 010 $a3-319-98307-5 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-98307-3 035 $a(CKB)4100000006519806 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5514520 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-98307-3 035 $a(PPN)230540732 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000006519806 100 $a20180910d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aClimate Change and the Future of Democracy /$fby R.

The volume will analyse how global governance could become more democratic and consequently more responsive to the challenge of climate change. As economic globalization has accelerated since 1945, international institutions have done a remarkable job in facilitating global communication and commerce but have been far less effective in protecting the global commons. 410 0$aEnvironmental Challenges and Solutions,$x2214-2827 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEnvironmental Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U38000 606 $aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 14$aClimate Change. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aEnvironmental Politics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice. 676 $a363.73874 700 $aDeese$b R.
