Initially Australian involvement had wide popular support but this soon changed as anti-war protests grew. After the war ended interest dwindled rapidly, but when it became apparent that Australian Vietnam veterans were suffering psychological and social disturbances just like their American counterparts interest resurfaced. The book looks at how Australia tried to come to terms with the war and the impact the war has had on Australia itself.
