Product Description

Product Description

This title tells the true story behind one of the greatest disasters in Australia's military history with unflinching clarity. It covers dedicated mailing and e-mail campaign to targeted military history related media.In 1967, Brigadier Stuart Graham issued the calamitous order that led to one of the greatest disasters in Australian military history. The First Australian Task Force were to construct an 11 kilometer long minefield containing more than 20,000 powerful M16 landmines in southern Vietnam's Phuoc Tuy Province.What Graham failed to realize was that the opposing Vietnam forces were well positioned to lift thousands of the mines and turn them on the Australian Task Force with horrendous, far reaching results. For protracted periods, the Australian's own M16 mines became the enemy's most effective weapons, causing more than 50 per cent of all task force casualties. "The Minefield" recounts the whole story of Australia's biggest tactical wartime blunder with unflinching clarity.
