Books by Peter Stanley

The first book since 1915 about the part the Indians played in the Gallipoli campaign, telling their story in new and unexpected ways.

For the first time, this book tells the powerful, and until now neglected, story of how Australian humanitarians helped people they had barely heard of and never met, amid one of the twentieth century's most terrible human calamities. With 50,000 Armenian-Australians sharing direct family links with the Genocide, this has become truly an Australian story.

Australians remember the dead of 25 April 1915 on Anzac Day every year. But what do we really know about the men supposedly most cherished in the Australian memory of war? Peter Stanley goes looking for the Lost Boys of Anzac: the men of the very first wave to land at dawn on 25 April 1915 and who died on that day. There were exactly 101 of them. Lost Boys of Anzac traces who these men were, where they came from and why they came to volunteer for the AIF.
