A review by hugh
Vietnam: The Australian War by Paul Ham

Interesting, and I learned a lot about the conflict. His approach is very much to focus on individual acts of bravery, so there's a huge amount of reports of specific combat actions rather than the bigger picture.
It also contains the quite spectacular argument that it's actually racist to criticise western atrocities, and anyway why does no-one talk about all the Australian soldiers who *didn't* commit war crimes? Honestly, he says that quite explicitly.
Also - I had the audiobook version of this, and I understand voice acting is part of being a good narrator and he knows the region well, but the way he voices Vietnamese characters gets really uncomfortable.
