The most lasting impression that the book made on me was how the Turks and Greeks lived together in the Fethiye and Kaya areas without any hatredfor each other.The chapters on Gallipoli were very real. Well worhth a read. I hope they do make it into a movie.

Lots of film some in colour of the 1920's.
