University of Queensland Press, 1988. Softcover. Very Good +. AUSTRALIAN MILITARY In early 1967, as America stepped up its commitment of troops to the conflict in Vietnam, Hugh Lunn, a twenty-five-year-old Australian journalist working for Reuters in London, was sent to cover the war. ""All you have to do is sit up on a hill and watch a battle and write what happens,"" he was told matter-of-factly.259 p., [16] p. of plates : ill., ports. ; 22 cm. reprint (first published in 1985)#010524 Lunn, Hugh, 1941- Vietnam War, 1961-1975 -- Personal narratives, Australian Hugh Lunn:""When you write a book about the Vietnam War the story never ends.Forty-five years after I was there, people still write to me about the War. People Iâve never met visit Saigon and send me photos of the Continental Hotel with my room marked with a cross, or ask if some building in a picture was the Reuter office. Foreign correspondents e-mail reminiscences or check details from the 1960s.Saigon 1967. I arrived age 25 in Vietnam to cover the war for Reuters. I was befriended by a local reporter, Dinh, who warned me âvery quick and easy to be killedâ. Dinh knew things that I could not: Vietnam is always too short of fortune-tellers; my Melbourne roommate Bruce Pigott is ânot long-live manâ; and Heaven hurts fair women for sheer spite.Faced with the daily US military news briefings where fantasy is put out as fact, I found myself questioning a war that could not be won, and my role in it. My year of duty was almost up when the cataclysmic Tet Offensive changed everything. Four friends were killed.I finish the book with Dinhâs final revelation that the most trusted and influential Vietnamese journalist in Saigon was, all along, a Viet Cong colonel.""
