Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The untold story of the ordinary Australians conscripted to fight in our most controversial war, by one of our most celebrated journalists.On 10 March 1965, the first nasho's birthdate was drawn from a lottery barrel at the Department of Labour and National Service in Melbourne. Over the next seven years, a total of 63740 young Australian men would be drafted into the army and face the prospect of being sent to war.The nashos came from all walks of life- plumbers and dentists, footballers and musicians, Christians and Jews, willing and unwilling. Some spent their two years square-bashing in Singleton. Others went to Vietnam to fight - and die - in Australia's bloodiest battles, including the slaughter at Long Tan.But our ideas of national service contain strange contradictions and inaccuracies- that the draft was unpopular but militarily necessary; that the nashos in Vietnam all volunteered to go to war; and that they were met by protesters and demonstrations on their return to Australia, rather than the huge welcome-home parades reported at the time.Here, Mark Dapin dramatically deconstructs the folklore of Vietnam and national service. Drawing on the accounts of over one hundred and fifty former national servicemen, The Nashos' War tells a vastly more personal and nuanced story of national service and Australia's Vietnam War than that previously heard. Most powerfully, it records with extraordinary intensity what it was like to be a bank clerk one day, and fighting for your life in the jungles of Vietnam soon afterwards.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Millions have been entertained by the viral video of a man being arrested after a succulent Chinese meal. But when Mark Dapin investigated, it emerged that this man's story went to the heart of the Australian underworld. A true crime cult classic in the making. Whether you know it as the succulent Chinese meal video, or democracy manifest, chances are you have seen the video of baritone larrikin Jack Karlson getting arrested outside a Brisbane Chinese restaurant in 1991. The Guardian called it perhaps the pre-eminent Australian meme of the last 10 years. When Karlson called crime writer Mark Dapin out of the blue, though, Dapin hadnt heard of him. But there was enough that intrigued him about this theatrical outlaw to continue the conversation. Over the following months emerged a dark and complex past. It turned out that Karlson had been in the background of many notorious incidents in late-twentieth century Australian crime, from collaborating with infamous prison-playwright Jim McNeil to befriending hitman Christopher Dale Flannery (Mr Rent-a-Kill). But most shockingly of all, Karlsons life story led Dapin to shed new light on a number of unsolved murders, by two serial killers.The result is an extraordinary, deeply revealing portrait of Australian crime from the 60s to the 2010s a portrait of carnage. Mark Dapin could never be accused of glorifying crime, but he is guilty as sin for understanding it. Inhabited by flawed humans, filled with violence, humour, tears and dreams, Carnage is a classic Australian crime story. Gary Jubelin, author of I Catch Killers 'True crime at its grim and richly entertaining best, and lets face it its truest. Robert Drewe, author of The Shark Net If ever there was a book crammed with colourful villains who are mad, bad and dangerous to know, its definitely Mark Dapins extraordinary book, Carnage. Kate McClymont, author of He Who Must Be Obeid Carnage is a window into Australian mayhem, killingly funny and beautifully told. Dapin finds pathos in a twisted world. Matthew Spencer, author of Black River Carnage begins by probing what seems a minor curiosity an internet meme centred on a colourful character then takes a turn into the lives of traumatised youths hurled without care or thought into brutalising reformatories. From there they graduate to rorts, robberies, violence. Bleak lives interspersed with occasional forays into squaresville spouses, kids, even jobs and attempts at betterment via theatre and literature. A unique, deeply felt take on the Australian underworld. Peter Doyle, author of Crooks Like Us The moment I start reading anything by Mark Dapin Im captivated, intrigued and engaged for the entire journey. There is no finer writer documenting the history and characters of Australian criminality.

Peter Edwards, author of Australia and the Vietnam WarWhy everything you thinkyou know about Australia's Vietnam War is wrong.When journalist and historianMark Dapin first interviewed Vietnam veterans and wrote about the war, heswallowed (and regurgitated) every popular misconception. He wasn't alone. In Australia'sVietnam, Dapin argues that every stage of Australia's Vietnam War has beenmisremembered and obscured by myth. He disproves claims that every nationalserviceman was a volunteer; questions the idea that Australian troops committedatrocities; debunks the fallacy that there were no welcome home parades until1987; and rebuts the fable that returned soldiers were met by spittingprotesters at Australian airports.Australia's Vietnam is a major contribution to the understanding ofAustralia's experience of the war and will change the way we think about memoryand military history. When 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.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Dapin's words cut into the organs of the criminal underworld like a surgeon's knife!' DAVID McMILLAN, Klong Prem Central Prison Bangkok escapee'Mark Dapin has built a rapport with some of Australia's most serious criminals. It is a rapport that gives him an edge over other authors that cannot be replicated.'BERNIE MATTHEWS, Long Bay Correctional Centre escapeeOn a Sunday afternoon in 1980, armed robber Gregory David Roberts abseiled down the front wall of a maximum-security prison in broad daylight. He spent a decade on the run in West Asia before writing his own legend in the bestselling semi-autobiographical novel, Shantaram. In the late nineties, Melbourne-based drug dealer and gangster David McMillan became the only Australian ever to escape from the so-called 'Bangkok Hilton' in Thailand. And in 1999, armed robber John Killick was airlifted out of a maximum-security prison by his beautiful Russian-born girlfriend - after she hijacked a helicopter with a machine gun. With unprecedented access to ex-prisoners, prison officers and police, as well as ASIO files and witnesses, Mark Dapin brings to life a hidden criminal world of prison brutality, courage and legend. Prison Break tells the real story behind Australia's most audacious prison escapes and proves that sometimes the truth is even more compelling than the myth. The true stories behind the myths of Gregory Roberts, John Killick and Australia's most wanted men. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

John Nashville Grant is an American military policeman in the R&R town of Vung Tau, tucked safely behind the front lines of the Vietnam War. Nashville knows how everything works: the army, the enemy, bars, secrets, men and - at least in Vung Tau - women. He's keeping the peace by keeping his head down and making the most of it. His new partner is a tall man from a small town: Shorty, from Bendigo. Shorty knows nothing about anything, and he wishes people would stop mistaking that for stupidity. When another MP shoots a corpse in a brothel, the delicate balance between the military police, South Vietnamese gangsters and the Viet Cong is upset. Nashville and his partner are drawn into the heart of the matter by their violent colleague Sergeant Caution, the obsequious landlord Moreau, the improbable entrepreneur Izzy Berger and the mysterious, omnipotent Mamasan. Events begin to force the pair to uphold the law and perhaps - ultimately, unwillingly - to take it into their own hands. Written with a brilliant, concise wit and brutal, uncompromising insight, R&R is a startlingly original portrait of men and war in the twilight zone behind the front, a searing study of the violence that we do to others, and ourselves.
