Dustoff For Willie Peters A New Zealand hunter's journey through Vietnam
by Graeme Sturgeon
|
Graeme Sturgeon was a deerhunter and a Vietnam veteran, and this novel takes his protagonist from the rugged back country blocks of Nelson, Fiordland and the Kaimanawa ranges to the war in Vietnam and its aftermath. The foreword by hunter Rex Forrester pays tribute to New Zealand's hunter soldiers, many of them trained and experienced deer cullers, who faced the turmoil and dangers of a political war that took them far from home.
"This book is written from a soldier's point of view. I is written as it happened, and we the readers cannot help but be drawn in to the author's skirmishes. We share his excitements, fears and tragedies."
