ABOUT 'After the Blood Cools - The Warrior's Dilemma'
Gary McKay served as a rifle platoon commander in Vietnam in 1971 and was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry during the Battle of Nui Le, the last major battle fought by Australian and New Zealand forces in South Vietnam.
Fifty years on, Gary looks back on his distinguished military career and shares his gripping full story. From being conscripted and training for war, to the sudden violence of combat in Vietnam. From being wounded at the Battle of Nui Le through the long road to recovery. And the unexpected demons that haunted him decades after the fighting had stopped.
Reflecting on his experiences, Gary explores The Warrior's Dilemma: how do ordinary people cope with the overwhelming mental and physical challenges of combat? How does it change them, and what emotional baggage do they carry from the battlefield?
This important book sheds new light on what it really means to go to war, and asks the essential question: how can we better support our frontline fighters, our men and women in uniform and our first responders?
Sales of this book support Legacy which assists families of Australian Defence Force men and women who have lost their life or health while serving our country.
