Description
Tiger Men: A Young Australian Soldier Among the Rhade Montagnard of Vietnam
This thought-provoking memoir recounts the author's experiences in Vietnam, where he trained and led local tribes to defend their villages against the Viet-Cong. The book is a story of the Truong Son - Tiger Men - who became a respected and feared self-defence force in South Vietnam.
However, it is also a tale of defeat and destruction, with the author's own heroic efforts almost coming at a deadly cost. Years after his departure from Vietnam, he learned that some Americans and South Vietnamese leaders had plotted against him. This is a book that sheds light on a complex and often overlooked chapter in history.
