Sinopsis

A captivating expose of a National ServicemanâÇÖs deployment to Vietnam. Brutally honest, this confronting memoir covers extensive military detail and personal revelation, so rarely told.Serving in the Australian Army from 30 January 1969 until 29 January 1971,áPeter McCannáintimately shares his experiencesáas an infantryman undertaking recruit, corps, and operational training in Australia prior to deployment on active service and soldiering in Vietnam.During that time, he served with 8 Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (8 RAR) for 12 months in Vietnam from November 1969-November 1970. This fascinating story focuses extensively on that period of his life and reveals how military service forever changed him.áThe substantial amount of technical and educative detail included is nothing short of astonishing, thougháitâÇÖs also prudently interspersed with humour and pathos.áReturning to civilian life in Australia, McCann also raises some of his strongly held views on several issues of continuing interest within many veteran networks and wider community frameworks operating in Australia today.ááBeyond a record of military history, McCannâÇÖs compelling âÇÖin your faceâÇÖ account is a public disclosure of the authorâÇÖs inner soul. He explains how he coped and dealt with a range of related subsequent personal issues that might well have utterly defeated many other veterans.á
