"With bayonet in hand, I cautiously approached the narrow
opening..."These words begin a chilling first-hand account of a
life endangering situation which confronted John "Jethro" Thompson
in 1967, when he served as a Tunnel Rat in Vietnam . Jethro is just
one of many Australian war heroes whose brave deeds in various war
zones are highlighted in Ian Ferguson's latest book. Graphic
details are provided about the combat achievements of every current
Australian VC winner, along with other legendary Aussies such as
Nancy Wake, "Weary" Dunlop and Reg Saunders. The political,
economic and social situations which have motivated Australians to
risk their lives, from the Boer War of 1899 until the present day
conflict in Afghanistan, are comprehensively documented, while the
performances of many military leaders, including Sir John Monash
and General Sir Thomas Blamey, are carefully analysed. Brolga's
bestselling non-fiction author has produced another compelling book
which will become a must read for every lover of Australian social
history.
