AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An Australian military base is established around a hill in South Viet Nam. Two battalions strong. The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army draw up a plan to eliminate the base and draw up eight battalions for the task ...
But the plan was thwarted when the Vietnamese forces ran into an Australian company in the Long Tan rubber plantation.
This is a fictionalised account of the events leading up to the battle of Long Tan based on detailed research by Dave Sabben, one of the Australian platoon commanders in the battle. (Publisher's blurb)
