Description - The Odd Angry Shot by William Nagle
The Odd Angry Shot is the seminal account of Australian soldiers in the Vietnam War. Briefand bracing, tragic yet darkly funny, it portrays a close-knit group of knockabout SAS fighters-their mateship, homesickness and fears; their practical jokes, drinking and fighting. The enemy isnot just the Vietcong they've been sent to fight, but their superiors, the mud and torrential rain,and boredom.
This edition comes with a new introduction by the renowned military historian Paul Ham, whowrites- 'The Odd Angry Shot reveals...how war damages and destroys not only life and limb, butalso the brains, hopes and dreams of everyone involved...It is an Australian Dispatchesand-like Michael Herr's classic, which came out two years later-it rips the scales from oureyes.'
