Living History With Mat Mclachlan

The Allies are getting desperate and as the heat of summer descends on the peninsula, they are determined to try a bold gamble to win the campaign once and for all. Turning their attention to the Anzac sector, they come up with an ambitious plan that involves breaking out to the north of Anzac and seizing the high ground. But the men are wracked by disease, the terrain they must cross is some of the toughest at Gallipoli, and the Turkish defenders are ready and waiting. Does the August Offensive have any chance of success?In the sixth episode of our special series on the Gallipoli campaign, Mat is joined by historian Peter Hart to explore the August Offensive, and the accompanying attacks at Lone Pine, the Nek, Chunuk Bair and more.Hosts: Mat McLachlan and Peter HartProducer: Jess StebnickiSubscribe via Patreon to listen to EVERY EPISODE NOW in this special series!
