If a good Vietnam (and Indonesian 'Confrontation') read is up your street, try "Sleeping With Your Ears Open: On Patrol With the Australian SAS" (ISBN: 186508297X / 1-86508-297-X) by Gary McKay. A no bullsh1t, told mostly in the first person by people who actually did it, account of SAS ops in SE Asia in the 1960s and early 70s .

Some current (and ex) Australian Army readers, fed a constant diet of how hopeless the RAAF was in SVN by some of their peers, might be somewhat surprised to read of the very high regard the SAS had for the crews of 9 Squadron RAAF.
