Australia's Vietnam: Australia in the Second Indo-China War (1983) By Peter King
Few outside Australia and New Zealand today even realize that Australian troops fought in the Vietnam War in the 1960s. The Australian forces barely rate a mention in the standard works.
The story of the impact of the war on Australian politics and society is little known beyond Australia and often greatly misunderstood by Australians themselves.
Here, therefore, is a survey of Australia’s Vietnam military commitment and experience, both in theatre and on the ‘home front’; an attempt to explain why Australia was involved, how its troops conducted themselves, and to what ultimate effect.
