A fascinating read of someone who went to the same school as my father and I almost equidistant between the 2 of us and his first few years after school, growing up in Brisbane.

There are books dealing with both earlier ( ie school) and later periods of his life, which I will be searching out.

I will have to go and find "Lost for Words" which is the prequel because I enjoyed this so much! It brought back many good memories and showed me just how many of these WORDS I say myself…I would never have believe it! Easy to read, lots of chuckles and a lovely piece of Australian Language History.

Hugh Lunn carved out a successful career as a journalist in Australia and this is his second book of memoirs (following "Over The Top With Jim"), where, as a young journalist, he moved to Hong Kong to experience life outside Australia for a while.

Nothing too amazing happens to Lunn in Hong Kong until he decides to travel overland to Europe, necessitating a Chinese visa. The Chinese look at him suspiciously, thinking him a spy, but he gets the visa and onwards he moves.

In the late 1960 a young reporter working for the news agency Reuters was sent to Vietnam to report on the ongoing war. Whilst this book does not give anywhere near a full story of that war, it does give a comprehensive picture of how futile this war was, and how the Americans were blind to the realities of what was happening there. The story is told from the author's perspective, and focuses on the people with whom he worked and encountered.
This is the first book about the Vietnam that I have read, my knowledge before then limited to what I heard and read as a youngest in the 60s and 70s. It has prompted me to next take off the bookshelf "Many Reasons Why" by Michael Charlton and Anthony Moncrieff.… (más)
