Publisher's Summary:
Now Thommo and his mates are 11 angry men out for revenge. They rope in an ex-Viet Cong with 'special skills' and his own secret agenda. They're the 'Dirty Dozen', just like the movie. Only it's real life, and they're so screwed up they couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. That is, until a woman of character steps in. Wendy's infant daughter is dying and needs a bone-marrow transplant. Hell hath no fury, as she sets out to mould this bunch of ex-jungle fighters into a unit that will fight for justice, by fair means or foul.

Australian Vietnam vet with Agent Orange
book is set, I believe in the 1980s. The vet is suffering from Agent Orange exposure, but it is before either the U.S. or Australia are admitting that Agent Orange is the cause of so much damage. So in this book, a group of Vietnam vets who served together decide to grow hashish and sell it in has honey to earn enough to help vets who have been harmed and who arent getting help from the government. Its totally illegal, but they have this enterprise for a year, raise a lot of money and help a lot of people. Its a very interesting book with the vet and his wife coming back together after having almost been separated by the events of the war because he cant talk about them. Also, some interesting contrasts between experiences of Australian Vietnam vets and American Vietnam vets.
Unworthy
This book is totally unworthy of Bryce - of whom I am a great fan.
Excellent
Bryce has lived up to all expectations. Loved this book.
Too Short!
I'd barely gotten into this and it was over! That's the fastest time gone by. I was disappointed Courtenay cut this book off so quickly because I loved where this story was headed.
Great Book as always!!!
This is one is one of the shortest Bryce Courtney's books but definitely never disappointing. Bryce always writes to enlighten his public. If one has never serviced in war and lived after the experience, Bryce is an author to make the experience real for others. He always has a message in his writing and is always up lifting. He will be missed. Thank you Bryce!!!
