Writers Live - Gallipoli from both sides
12th Mar '15 @ Berkelouw Mona Vale


Default_jonathan_king_author_pic

We are delighted to host two eminent historians, researchers and authors when they tell the story of the Gallipoli campaign from both sides.

Join us when Jonathan King, author of Gallipoli Diaries is in conversation with Harvey Broadbent, author of Defending Gallipoli.

Harvey Broadbent's new book is based on exclusive access to Turkish archives. He has spent five years translating everything from official records to soldiers' personal diaries and letters to unearth the Turkish story. It is chilling and revealing to see this famous battle in Australian history, rendered through Turkish eyes.

In the updated, commemorative edition of Gallipoli Diaries, Jonathan King has gathered together an unequalled series of extracts from letters and diaries written by hundreds of Anzacs at Gallipoli. These account for every one of the 240 days of the eight month battle. We can glimpse what Gallipoli was really like.

Meet Jonathan King and Harvey Broadbent when they are in conversation at 6.30pm on Thursday March 12th at Berkelouw Books in Mona Vale.

Bookings are essential and can be made by phone on 9979 2112, by email to monavale@berkelouw.com.au, or online by following this link. Payment will be required in advance.

Cost is $ 10.00, $ 5.00 of which will be credited against any purchases made on the evening.

Jonathan King has been producing books and films about World War I since 1994. He leads battlefield tours to Gallipoli and the Western Front, and is a regular television commentator, as well as a writer for newspapers. After lecturing at the University of Melbourne for many years he has written more than 30 books and produced 20 documentaries.

Harvey Broadbent is a leading authority on Turkey and its history. He is the author of four books on World War I. In a 23-year career ar the ABC he produced four documentaries on Gallipoli for ABC Television and several radio features. Since then he has been using his expertise as a Senior Research Fellow and Associate Professor at Macquarie University, where he directed the Gallipoli Centenary Research Project.

We thank both authors for joining us before they head to Gallipoli for the centenary commemorations.
