SUMMARY:‘Australia's Vietnam: Myth vs history’  Speaker – Dr Mark Dapin
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Webinar: Tuesday 08 December 2020 @ 07:00pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time). \n\nWhen Mark Dapin first interviewed Vietnam veterans and wrote about the war\, he swallowed (and regurgitated) every misconception. He wasn’t alone. In Australia’s Vietnam\, Dapin reveals that every stage of Australia’s commitment to the Vietnam War has been misunderstood\, misinterpreted and shrouded in myth. From army claims that every national serviceman was a volunteer; and the level of atrocities committed by Australian troops; to the belief there were no welcome home parades until the late 1980s and returned soldiers were met by angry protesters.\nAustralia’s Vietnam is a major contribution to the understanding of Australia’s experience of the war and will change the way we think about memory and military history. \nMHHV Members $5\, General Public $10. \n \n\n(The Zoom link and simple instructions will be emailed after 4pm on Tuesday December 8 to all ticket holders) \nAbout the presenter \n \nDr Mark Dapin is a well-known historian\, author and journalist.
