Vietnam Remembered

Few living Australians have been untouched by the Vietnam war and the conflict it represented, at home and abroad. This may seem like an odd statement, since proportionately very few - around 50 000 - Australians saw military service in Vietnam In this book, for the first time, all aspects of Australia's Vietnam conflict, abroad and at home, are covered. Although a supposedly 'limited war' in a military and political sense, Australia's involvement in Vietnam and its aftermath touched all aspects of Australian society. Until now no book has attempted this ambitious task, because the basic groundwork of scholarship of the many and varied aspects of the complex story of Australia's Vietnam were still to be completed. This book is one of the results of that work.
