It was the afternoon of 18 August 1966, hot, humid with grey monsoonal skies. D Company, 6RAR were four kilometres east of their Nui Dat base, on patrol in a rubber plantation not far from the abandoned village of Long Tan. A day after their base had suffered a mortar strike, they were looking for Viet Cong soldiers. Then—just when they were least expecting—they found them. Under withering fire, some Diggers perished, some were grievously wounded, the rest fought on, as they remained under sustained attack. For hours these men fought for their lives against the enemy onslaught.

Outstanding account of the battle of Long Tan..
Revisado: 11-11-22
One of the best from Peter FitzSimons and superbly narrated by David Trendinnick. Fitz steps thru the journey of how Australia finds itself in Vietnam and then to the battle on Long Tan. This book is a tribute to the men and families of Delta company 6 RAR & their supporting services who, against an overwhelming enemy strength, managed to to 'seize and hold ground'. Fitz is 'spot on' with Australian humor, army 'slang' and tells the story from the diggers perspective, their leaders, their family's and also from their enemy.. I highly recommend this book.....
