“The brevity of each episode creates an opportunity for Hoover fellows and the production team to zero in on the essence of the stories we want to tell and the most compelling ways to illustrate those stories.” Pike’s sketches, which are housed at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives, convey the stark contrast between the beautiful landscape of the Gallipoli Peninsula and the horrors of the trench warfare that took place during battles ultimately won by the Ottoman Empire.
