More about the book
The narrative delves into the political maneuvering behind Australia's decision to engage in the Vietnam War, highlighting a strategic announcement designed to minimize opposition. Key figures in the government plotted to reveal the deployment of troops when most parliament members would be absent, ensuring limited public awareness at the outset. As Australian soldiers arrived in Vietnam, initial trust in their leaders waned, leading to growing skepticism about the motivations of both Australian and American governments. This tension forms the backdrop for the soldiers' experiences and realizations.
