In 2002, Governor General Michael Jeffrey stated that 'we
Australians had everything under control in Phuoc Tuy Province'.
This referred not only to military control, but to the policy of
'pacification' employed by the Republic of Vietnam and external
'Free World' allies such as the US and Australia. In the hopes of
stemming the tide of Communism, pacification aimed to win the
allegiance of the populace through political, economic and social
reform. In this new work, Thomas Richardson explores the 1st
Australian Task Force's (1ATF) implementation of this policy in
Phuoc Tuy between 1966 and 1972. Using material from US and
Australian archives, as well as newly translated Vietnamese
histories, Destroy and Build: Pacification in Phuoc Tuy, 1966-1972
challenges the accepted historiography of the Western forces' fight
against insurgency in Vietnam.
