Publisher's Synopsis
In the 1960s the Domino Theory, fear of communist expansion through Asia, is used to justify going to war in Vietnam; to boost Army numbers, Australia introduces National Service for young men selected by a ballot using marbles representing birth dates ... one of those selected was Kerry White . His story begins with his time in Vietnam, then recalling his life before call-up and on being back home after discharge ... as the war goes on, the headlines confront him every day and night ... This memoir is based on memory, reflection and imagination.
