The World War I Dardanelles campaign is presented as a case study in Operational Art. Specifically, it is used to illustrate the dire consequences of the failure of British Prime Minister Asquith's government's leadership to employ Operational Leadership. The process by which strategic objectives were formed, and the role of key members of the War Council and Admiralty are examined.
