The official film tie-in for the acclaimed feature-length documentary, Gallipoli, by Turkish filmmaker Tolga Ornek which tells the story of Gallipoli as it's never been told before. The book incorporates significant material not included in the film as it describes life in the trenches through the letters, diaries, photographs and drawings of soldiers on both sides of the battle. Like the film, the book also draws on interviews with international experts. Splendidly illustrated, it includes two foldout maps and a poster.

Review

It's the manner of the telling that will shake you, for it comes from inside the belly of the beast ... somehow Ornek makes it echo more powerfully than ever. - Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald

This collection of eight scripts from the first series of Grass Roots, first broadcast on ABC TV, is a hugely entertaining read, characterised by concise and witty dialogue. The scripts include the often hilarious stage directions which have, up until now, been known only to a select few. Much of the comedy centres on the minutiae of council business and the power plays so rife in politics.

Late in the afternoon of 9 June 1951, Ben Chifley returns to his modest home in Bathurst to write a key speech which he will deliver at the ALP Conference in Sydney the next day. Having recently led his party to its second defeat at the polls, it is a time of challenge for the Labor leader. The dreams he nurtured for post-war Australia lie shattered and his health is failing. His life now seems but an epilogue to earlier aspiration and power. It is a time for decisions but equally a time for reflection on life as national political leader and as a man—a local man. Chifley died in Canberra four days later.
