The Chanak Affair (1969) By David Walder
 
Chanak is today called Cannakale, an insignificant little seaport on the Dardanelles. But in 1922 the British Government (headed by a coalition of Lloyd George, Churchill & Birkenhead) decided to wage war with only 3000 troops against the whole Turkish army. Trace the events leading to this disastrous decision, and the results. It was the most serious British crisis in the Middle East until Suez. Learn, too, of the motives and methods of the first 20th-century dictator, Kemal Ataturk.
