About this Item

".the true story of how it feels to be an Australian fighting or working in Vietnam. It tells of the men - and women - who have the same kind of cheerful courage which has typified generations of Australians, and who in Vietnam have successfully adapted themselves to a completely different kind of war. .The author lived with the Australian troops, went on operations with them, and writes simply and convincingly of how the young serviceman of today continues the proud traditions of the past. He writes too of the Australian civilians and medical teams.also of the "ugly Australians" who are making a good thing out of the war. He has no political axe to grind, and the average Australian will read this story of his countrymen with a feeling of great pride." First printed 1968. Reprinted April 1968.
