GOING BACK
Australians
Return to Vietnam
Author:

Unreviewed
Well
known author, historian and Vietnam veteran Gary McKay
has recently published another book about the Vietnam
War. "Going Back" is a detailed and highly personal
collection of the experiences of Australian Viet Nam War
veterans as they journey back to the country where they
once fought. The book is largely based on a group of
nine 5RAR first tour veterans who returned in October
2005, most with their partners. Gary McKay accompanied
the group on their pilgrimage and interviewed them
before, during and after the trip. It is a very easy
read and is accompanied by many photos of old familiar
sites and 5RAR personalities known to many. It is highly
recommended reading for those who may be contemplating a
return trip.
"Going Back" is published by Allen & Unwin with a RRP of
$24.95. ISBN 978 1 74114 634 9.
