How did fears of the Cold War shape Australian images of Asia? What was the nature of the Vietnamese revolution, which some 50 000 Australian troops failed to reverse in the 1960s? How did a small and marginal peace movement grow into the powerful Moratorium and did it have any impact on the course of the War? Harvest of Fear is a beautifully craf

The Vietnam War was Australia’s longest and most controversial military commitment of the twentieth century, ending in humiliation for the United States and its allies with the downfall of South Vietnam. The war provoked deep divisions in Australian society and politics, particularly since for the first time young men were conscripted for overseas service in a highly contentious ballot system. The Vietnam era is still identified with diplomatic, military and political failure. Was Vietnam a case of Australia fighting ‘other people’s wars’? Were we really ‘all the way’ with the United States? How valid was the ‘domino theory’? Did the Australian forces develop new tactical methods in earlier Southeast Asian conflicts, and just how successful were they against the unyielding enemy in Vietnam? In this landmark book, award-winning historian Peter Edwards skilfully unravels the complexities of the global Cold War, decolonisation in Southeast Asia and Australian domestic politics to provide new, often surprising, answers to these questions.

From 1962 to 1972 Australia joined the United States in fighting a communist inspired insurgency war in the jungles of South Vietnam against infiltrators who sought to overthrow the local government. Over 50,000 Australians served in Vietnam, 519 lost their lives, and the conflict ended ignominiously in the insurgents' victory. Over 30 years later, Australia again finds itself joined with the United States in a struggle against an insurgency, this time in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan. Although now in the past, the Vietnam War resonates with lessons for the Australian Army as it strives to defeat not Communism but Terrorism. Australian Military Operations in Vietnam highlights some of the successes and failures of an earlier generation of officers for the benefit of today's leaders.

This book makes the first real assessment of what the Vietnam War meant, on the battlefields and in Australia. When the first Australian troops landed on Vietnamese soil, the significance of the conflict was scarcely realised - but in time it was to affect not only tens of thousands of Australians who served in Vietnam, but an extraordinary cross-section of people at home. Debate about the war continues two decades later - and this book provides the vital answers about how Australia got involved in Americarsquo;s war; what happened to our troops in Vietnam; the way protest against the war built up on the home front; how the lsquo;Vietnam erarsquo; - the sixties and early seventies - impinged on Australian attitudes; how Australia received its Vietnam veterans on their return. It also looks at our countryrsquo;s relationship with the Vietnamese, now that many live in Australia. A top team of experts show in this book that the Vietnam War had far-reaching effects on Australiarsquo;s foreign policy, national politics, and social attitudes. Some of the controversies it provoked have spread beyond the years 1965-1971, when Australia was directly involved. This thorough, fascinating account tells the whole story of the Vietnam conflict, abroad and in Australia. It contains the Roll of Honour of those who died as a result of the Vietnam War; and it ends with a fourth edition of the lists of those who served in Vietnam.

SUMMARY A VIETNAM WAR RE-INFORCEMENT_--A “REO”. Author: Rick (Barney) Bigwood. Barney was a twenty two year old living on his own in Sydney in 1968. He had just been involved with the end of a relationship and was influenced by the TV coverage of the war in Vietnam. He had missed out on being “Called Up” for National Service, although some of his friends had been. and decided to volunteer for it and submitted the documentation. However with the wheels of government moving slowly he went to the enlistment office and signed up for three years. This tome follows Barney’s journey as the perpetual “REO” (reinforcement). After recruit training where he meets men who would share his disjointed service, one “Jock” Rennie never to come home alive, he is posted to the Infantry Corps. Here he learns the trade of “Death” the lot of an infanteer getting exposed to all the weapons currently being used in South Vietnam. He and his group of Infanteers travel to the Jungle Training centre at Cunungra in South West Queensland run by Major Felix Fazekas MC (Military Cross). Major Fazekas MC Earnt his Military Cross endeavouring to rescue “dasher” Wheatley VC and warrant Officer Swanton while in the ATTV. Felix was a real character of the Australian Army who earlier had been an officer in the Hungarian Army supporting the Germans in World war Two. After completing the jungle training Barney and approximately 60 Infantry were sent as “REOs” to Vietnam) Barney and his peers arrived in “Country” on the 28th of November and after acclimatization at the re enforcement unit (1 ARU) the group started to get broken up. The three battalions stationed in Vietnam in December 1968 had suffered a lot of battle casualties, malaria casualties and the issue of National Servicemen being returned to Australia as the completion of their term of enlistment approached. This loss of manpower needed to be replaced and it was here the “REOs” came into the picture. Barney and a group were posted to the 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment (RAR); all went to platoons in rifle companies. Here Barney recounts how he was received by the old timers and original troops. Here he experienced the frustrations of a soldiers lot like being in mangrove swamps for a week and coming out to find portable showers set up and “hot box” meals ready, then after washing putting on new fresh uniforms being formed up and marched straight back into the swamp. His baptism of battle, was to answer the question that all soldiers ponder “How will I perform under fire?”,he found himself no different to the majority of all diggers . Scared, tense but switched on and committed to not letting your mates down. As this Battalion was due to return to Australia in February Barney’s time there was reasonably short and on the 10th of February he was on his way to another battalion with his fellow “REOs”. Barney marched into 4RAR/NZ, this battalion was a true ANZAC battalion with 2 rifle companies of New Zealand Infantry and 3 rifle Companies of Aussies. In the other companies Kiwis made up the platoons. Barney and his close mates Des Blazely , Bob Secrett and Cec Ebsworth joined the “Tracker” platoon with its three 4 four legged soldiers. Here the experience of battle was intense both when under Australian and American control. When the trackers were loaned to the Yanks to chase down NVA who had fired rockets a huge US base (Long Binh). Barney recounts the differences between the operating styles of the two countries. One African American who was following Barney through the jungle and seeing how he carried his machine gun at the ready compared to the US soldier with his over his shoulder hanging onto one of the bipod legs commented to his buddy “Dat Aussie carries his 60 like a rifle”, to which the soldier replies “don’t put no shit on dat Aussie or he will shoot your arse off” The tales of off duty times when the company is allowed 2 days leave in the “OPEN” town of Vung Tau is hair raisi

For the first time this is the full story of Australia's involvement in our longest military campaign 'Surely God weeps,' an Australian soldier wrote in despair of the conflict in Vietnam. But no God intervened to shorten the years of carnage and devastation in this most controversial of wars. the ten-year struggle in the rice paddies and jungles of South Vietnam unleashed the most devastating firepower on the Vietnamese nation, visiting terrible harm on both civilians and soldiers.Yet the Australian experience was very different from that of the Americans. Guided by their commanders' knowledge of jungle combat, Australian troops operated with stealth, deception and restraint to pursue a 'better war'. In reconstructing for the first time the full history of our longest military campaign, Paul Ham draws on hundreds of accounts by soldiers, politicians, aid workers, entertainers and the Vietnamese people. From the commitment to engage, through the fight over conscription and the rise of the anti-war movement, to the tactics and horror of the battlefield, Ham exhumes the truth about this politicians' war - which sealed the fate of 50,000 Australian servicemen and women. More than 500 Australian soldiers were killed and thousands wounded. those who made it home returned to a hostile and ignorant country and a reception that scarred them forever. this is their story.
