Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Small mark on top foredge. Interior and binding are very good.

They were young, they were Australian, they were Army engineers, and they were the first allied soldiers to risk their lives in the darkness of the Vietcong tunnels of South Vietnam.

Staring death squarely in the face every day, not only did they follow their enemy down into these unknown underground labyrinths, but they matched the Vietcong's jungle warfare skills. They defused thousands of their clever booby traps.

Off duty, it was a different story. The bad boys of 3 Field Troop were a boozing, brawling, bonking bunch of larrikins, who cut a swathe through the bars and brothels of Saigon, fought American Military Police to a standstill, built a secret casino and booby-trapped their own HQ to teach their officers a lesson.

Thrilling, inspiring and action-packed, this is the true story of the unsung heroes of Australia's war in Vietnam. Living up to their motto of 'We Make and We Break', they created the legend of the Tunnel Rats. (back cover)
