About this book:
The Australian and New Zealand part in the Vietnam War is sometimes overlooked, but it is generally accepted that the Diggers and Kiwis were among the most effective and professional troops involved. Drawing upon the ANZACs' long experience in the jungles of Southeast Asia, the men of the Task Force used their expertise in patrol tactics to great effect to frustrate Viet Cong operations in their area of responsibility. Meanwhile their small and isolated adviser teams spent ten years passing on their skills all over South Vietnam, and in the process four were awarded the supreme decoration for valor – the Victoria Cross. This book pays tribute to their military prowess, and describes and illustrates their uniforms and equipment in unprecedented detail.
