Book details

Book description

The Vietnam War was the longest and most divisive war in our history. Almost 60,000 Australians served and more than 500 were killed. At home, thousands protested against the war and conscription and hundreds were sent to jail. THE VIETNAM YEARS is the story of both sides of that war, from the vicious fighting of the jungle patroles and the bravery shown by so many Australians at the famous Battle of Long Tan, to families back home, ripped apart by confusion and anger. From Vung Tau to Nui Dat, from Bankstown to Broadmeadows, this is a book about Australians and for Australians. Michael Caulfield has worked as a composer, musician and television and film director. He was the executive producer of the ABC television series 'Australians at War'. His books include VOICES OF WAR, WAR BEHIND THE WIRE and THE VIETNAM YEARS.
