Grey Ghosts | by Deborah Challinor

Description

Grey Ghosts were New Zealand’s Vietnam veterans. Their powerful story includes chilling accounts of death, injuries and emotional breakdown, along with he intense comradeship of soldiering, and a pervasive sense of humor that is uniquely our own. Acclaimed writer and historian Deborah Challinor interviewed 50 men who served in Vietnam, who speak out about ‘fragging’ (killing superior officers), the New Zealand Government’s role in Agent Orange and chemical exposure, and their hostile reception when they returned.
