'Vietnam was Australia’s longest and most controversial war. This book by Tony White AM, vividly recalls his twelve month tour of duty as a frontline doctor in difficult territory. Starlight was the radio call sign for army doctors and medics. For those who were there, this book will refresh memories, good and bad, of those days of conflict. For those who weren’t there, Tony has painted the scenes skilfully with his letters home from the warfront, and connecting stories.' (Source: Australian War Memorial website)
