The Fires of Gallipoli
The Fires of Gallipoli
A deeply moving story of courage, resilience and self-discovery, set during the Gallipoli campaign of 1915-16
The Fires of Gallipoli by Barney Campbell tells the story of Edward Salter, a shy, reserved lawyer whose life is transformed by the outbreak of war in 1914.
Thrown into the fiery hellscape of the Gallipoli campaign, Edward forges intense bonds of friendship with his comrades, particularly with the charming and quietly courageous Theodore Thorne.
Through months of brutal fighting and terrible carnage, Edward and Theo are stripped bare to their souls by the appalling conditions and hourly slaughter. They find solace in the few snatched moments of normality they manage to create together.
As Edward watches the limits of humanity being stretched and tested all around them, he learns more about death, love, lies, madness, cruelty, misery, friendship, and redemption than he ever could have imagined.
