     From 1961-1975 the United States, Australia, Korea and New Zealand represented the Free West democracies, engaged in a conflict against a communist revolution in Vietnam.

Numerous books, studies and seminars have been held on the reasons, outcomes and justification of the American involvement in the Vietnam War. Little research has been provided on Australia's and America's relationship during the period, and the place of the Australian soldier on the battle field (not the Australian politicians who doomed our boys to death ).
