Mentions in Despatches | Author: Dave Sabben

We know about the politics that got us into and out of the war. We know about the big battles: Long Tan, Coral, Balmoral & Binh Ba. We know about the social issues: conscription, drugs, moratoriums, the uneasy returns home. And we know about the legacy: the trauma, the PTSD, the divorces and the suicides. But do we know what actually happened there? Do we know exactly what our soldiers did, day-by-day, week-by-week? Do we understand what they experienced? What they did? What they thought about what they did?

This book will take you into an average Infantry Platoon for a 12-month "Tour of Duty" in the year the Task Force base was set up and details the gruelling schedules that soldiers endured on little to no sleep.
