1 1 y separately published work icon Red Haze : Australians and New Zealanders in Vietnam Leon Davidson , Fitzroy : Black Dog Books , 2006 Z1415148 2006 single work biography young adult 'The Vietnam War was like no other the Australians and New Zealanders had fought. There was no front-line, no safe zone, no glory. In the jungles the Vietcong seemed to be everywhere, and nowhere — and winning. To find the Vietcong, a country was torn apart. In questioning why they were there, Australia and New Zealand almost tore themselves apart.' (Source: Black Dog Books)

1 6 y separately published work icon Scarecrow Army : The Anzacs at Gallipoli Leon Davidson , Fitzroy : Black Dog Books , 2005 Z1207034 2005 single work biography young adult "On 25 April 1915, thousands of Australians and New Zealanders landed at an unnamed cove on the Gallipoli peninsula. They had come to fight the Turks. They thought the battle would be over in three days, but months later they were still in the trenches they'd dug at the landing. Gallipoli fast became a graveyard where bodies lay above the ground and the living slept under it. The Anzacs went looking for the adventure of a lifetime" -- Book Jacket.
