No Need for Heroes
by Sandy MacGregor
Retail Price: $25.00
This is the thrilling hilarious and inspiring true story of a
ragtag band of Aussie Army Engineers who redefined the word Heroes
... and reinvented larrikin too.
Among the first Australians to fight in Vietnam, they faced death
every day defusing Viet Cong booby traps - then partied all night
in a casino they'd built in secret.
They led hundreds of American troops to safety, but fought US
military police to a standstill in the bars of South Vietnam.
They built the Australian Task Force base - then sabotaged a headquarters
conference, booby trapped showers and blew up a generator
rather than kowtow to newly arrived officers.
And that's
before we mention sex ...
Most importantly, the men of
Three Field Troop discovered a huge Viet Cong tunnel complex
and were the first allied troops to follow the enemy down
into their underground city.
They were the original
Tunnel Rats and this is their story.
