Blue Lanyard Red Banner

This is a book by an Aussie digger who served in Vietnam. These boys had it tough, almost as tough as those who served in World War II.

This is a book I am halfway through reading and it is very detailed on the particular operation in January 1966, Operation CRIMP. An interesting operational perspective of these events in the war, rather than a media account.

If they went over the border into the North and did this, fighting an aggressive war instead of a 'defensive war', the US may have made inroads into preventing the North from running a hugely successful propaganda war against US and Australian Governments who caved in due to revolutionary left wing movements establishing strongholds in the West.
