From Simpson?s donkey and the Emu War to Vietnam and Ben Roberts-Smith, Australian military history is full of events that didn?t happen the way most people think they did. In his inimitable style, award-winning author Mark Dapin sets the record straight. Australia?s war tales could be said to be the closest thing we have to sacred stories: ANZAC, Simpson and his donkey, Changi, the wronged diggers in Vietnam, Ben Roberts-Smith. Millions of dollars are spent enshrining these stories in the War Memorial in Canberra and the Australian National Memorial in France, amongst others. � But did what we?re celebrating actually happen? � In this book, award-winning author and historian Mark Dapin shows that often the reality was completely different from the myth - and that by celebrating the wrong people, we often forget about the real heroes.
