Australian Hero
A novel of war, conscription and conscienceAustralia, 1960s.
Michael Saunders is called up for Vietnam. His younger brother Paul believes the war is wrong. Their father Harry, a veteran of New Guinea, believes duty must come first. Their mother Margaret only wants both her sons to survive what the country is doing to them.
As Michael is pushed towards the jungle war, Paul is drawn into the growing protest movement at home. What begins as disagreement around the family table becomes something larger: a fight over loyalty, courage, sacrifice and the right to say no.
For Harry, the war reopens old wounds from his own service in New Guinea. For Margaret, silence becomes impossible. For Michael, survival in Vietnam means carrying more than a rifle. And for Paul, protest brings fame, danger and the threat of prison.
Set against the turbulence of conscription, the birthday ballot, Save Our Sons, the anti-war movement and the war in Vietnam, Australian Hero is a powerful family story about two brothers caught on opposite sides of history.
One goes to war.
One fights the war at home.
Both must decide what kind of courage makes a hero.
