The Bloody Ridge

In *The Bloody Ridge*, Simon Cameron delivers a finely researched military history that brings the Battle of Lone Pine at Gallipoli into sharp, close-up focus. Set across four days in August 1915 on a stretch of trench line barely bigger than a football field, this is ANZAC history at its most intense and human.

Cameron draws on firsthand accounts, trench maps and rare photographs to track the chaos of the fighting and the hard decisions made in the dust, smoke and dark. Without turning away from the cost, he also finds the quieter moments: fear, endurance, and the fierce bonds between men under pressure. The result is a clear, gripping account of how Lone Pine became one of the campaign’s defining actions.

Perfect for readers of Australian history, World War I studies, Gallipoli military history, and anyone interested in courage, mateship and remembrance.
