'This book drips with adventure and intrigue' THE AGE In 1963,
Australian Army Captain Barry Petersen was sent to Vietnam. It was
one of the most tightly held secrets of the Vietnam War. Petersen
was ordered to train and lead guerrilla squads of Montagnard
tribesmen against the Viet Cong in the remote Central Highlands. He
successfully formed a fearsome militia, named 'Tiger Men'. A canny
leader, he was courageous in battle, and his bravery saw him
awarded the coveted Military Cross and worshipped by the hill
tribes. But his success created enemies, not just within the Viet
Cong. Some in US intelligence saw Petersen as having 'gone native'
and were determined he had to go, by any means possible. He was
lucky to make it out of the mountains alive. THE TIGER MAN OF
VIETNAM reveals the compelling true story of a little-known
Australian war hero. Now part of the HACHETTE MILITARY COLLECTION.
