Summary

Historian and veteran Gary McKay details the experiences of Australian Vietnam War heroes as they journey back to the land where they once fought and lost their innocence in this highly personal collection of stories.

Bringing an enhanced sense of closure to the tragic effects of the war, this part-history, part-memoir also shares the harsh reality of returning to former battlefields.
