14.01.2022 The Long Shadow Book Launch The Vietnam War continues to cast a long shadow over a generation of Australian servicemen and servicewomen. Five decades after t...heir service in Vietnam, many veterans live with the enduring impacts of that conflict. Based on interviews with veterans and analysis of hundreds of medical and scientific studies of veterans’ health, 'The Long Shadow: Australia's Vietnam Veterans Since the War' is a comprehensive examination of the entire range of medical legacies of the Vietnam War. In this book author Peter Yule also tells the story of the political battles over veterans’ health, and examines the reactions of government to veterans’ health issues. Director of the Australian War Memorial, Matt Anderson, said This medical history lays to rest some of the misconceptions and establishes for the first time an accurate picture of the health of Vietnam veterans. Many veterans believe that their service and sacrifice were never properly recognised and that their health problems were ignored, trivialised or denied altogether. This book provides a way to share those experiences from a veteran perspective, Follow this link to purchase your copy of 'The Long Shadow' and to watch a video recording of today’s book launch from the Australian War Memorial https://www.awm.gov.au/visit/TheLongShadow
