The Nashos' War is a war story, but it's war seen through the eyes of men who never thought they would fight. From 1965 to 1972 19,000 conscripted Australian national servicemen were sent to fight in Vietnam. With little choice in the matter, a bank clerk could find himself, a few weeks later, in the jungles with a gun, fighting the Viet Cong. This is the untold story of these men. In an incredible feat of research, Mark Dapin has interviewed over 150 ex-national servicemen, bringing their stories to life against the backdrop of Australia's political and military history during the years of the Vietnam War. The Nashos' Warcombines genuine scholarship and real literary journalism in a compelling work of narrative non-fiction.
