Summary "The Fight for Constantinople: A Story of the Gallipoli Peninsula" by Percy F. Westerman is a historical account that draws readers into the events surrounding the Gallipoli campaign during World War I. The narrative follows Sub-lieutenant Richard Crosthwaite aboard the aging battleship "Hammerer" as he and his crew prepare for naval warfare against the Ottoman Empire, specifically focusing on the Dardanelles. The story introduces themes of duty, bravery, and the challenges faced by military personnel in a pivotal moment of history. At the start of the narrative, we meet Richard Crosthwaite, who is dissatisfied with his assignment to the "Hammerer", an older battleship. After receiving orders and saying goodbye to his family, he embarks on the ship, now readied for action in the Dardanelles. The opening chapters depict the preparations for battle, Crosthwaite's musings on his new assignment, and the series of events leading up to the confrontation between the British fleet and the Turkish forts. Early combat ensues, conveying the tension and excitement of naval warfare with vivid descriptions of both naval maneuvers and the emotional experiences of the characters. The stage is set for an engaging tale of adventure and resilience in the face of danger. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
