Why everything
you think you know about Australia s Vietnam War is wrong
When Mark Dapin first interviewed Vietnam veterans and wrote about the
war, he swallowed (and regurgitated)
every misconception. He wasn t alone. In Australia's Vietnam, Dapin reveals that every
stage of Australia s commitment to the Vietnam War has been misunderstood,
misinterpreted and shrouded in myth. From army claims that every national
serviceman was a volunteer; and the level of atrocities committed by Australian
troops; to the belief there were no welcome home parades until the late 1980s and
returned soldiers were met by angry protesters. Australia's Vietnam is a major contribution to the understanding of
Australia s experience of the war and will change the way we think about memory and military history.
