520			_a"[This book] records the service of Victor 2 Company during the Vietnam War as part of 2 RAR, 1st Australian Task Force. The Company deployed to Vietnam on 12 November 1967 and, in February 1968, found themselves in the thick of the war. The Tet Offensive created a cauldron of enemy activity as the VC andf NVA launched their countrtyside offensive against [a hundred] towns, cities, villages and military bases in the South. This story records the desperate battles that followed, culminating in the largest attack against an independent New Zealand infantry company since the Second World War. ... Veterans' anecdotes illustrate this journey from pre-deployment to returning home. An unusual aspect is the inclusion of PTSD and similar issues as veterans, their wives and children strove to cope with the indifference shown toward their service and their toxic reception back in New Zealand."--Book jacket.
