Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages have sunned.

Platoon Sergeant Bob Buick - decorated with the Military Medal for bravery for his actions during the Battle of Long Tan - tells in vivid and enthralling detail the story of his tour of Viet Nam. It culminates in the most famous battle involving Australian Diggers in the Viet Nam War, in which thirteen of Buick's men were killed and the remainder survived against overwhelming odds.

All Guts and No Glory is a no-pulled-punches account, covering all the major actions Buick's platoon encountered. It brings to life the frustrating, gut-wrenching and sorrowful experience of those who served as infantry warriors in Vietnam, only to come home to an apathetic and sometimes hostile public.

This is a poignant reminder of what combat, infantry soldiering and the Vietnam War were all about. All Guts and No Glory also debunks the myths, lies and legends of the Long Tan Battle. (back cover)
