Language | ENG |
Author | Andrew T Ross ; Ross, Andrew T |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | The First Australian Task Force’s operations in South Vietnam were based on the British Commonwealth concept of counter-revolutionary warfare. Andrew T Ross shows how this strategy allowed the Task Force to suffer fewer casualties and achieve greater success than its US ally. Although this could not have changed the course of the war, it shows the viability of British Commonwealth counterinsurgency doctrine. |
