The South African and Vietnam Wars provoked dramatically different
reactions in Australians, from pro-British jingoism on the eve of
Federation, to the anti-war protest movements of the 1960s. In
contrast, the letters and diaries of Australian soldiers written
while on the South African and Vietnam battlefields reveal that
their reactions to the war they were fighting were surprisingly
unlike those on the home fronts from which they came. Australian
Soldiers in South Africa and Vietnam follows these combat men from
enlistment to the war front and analyses their words alongside
theories of soldiering to demonstrate the transformation of
soldiers as a response to developments in military procedure, as
well as changing civilian opinion. In this way, the book
illustrates the strength of a soldier's link to their home front
lives.
