From the jungles of war to the beautiful Italian countryside, follow five young men on a wild and humorous ride as they dodge the bullets of war, love, and friendship. Marsh, Al, Matt, Bruno, and Dudley are five cheeky mates who return home from the horrors of the Vietnam War, believing they are invincible.But is their self-assurance short-lived?Are their battle scars too deep for them to find real happiness?What are their chances of fitting back into society, finding jobs, and falling in love?Does amputee Matt still have what it takes to find the woman of his dreams?Can Marshall re-connect with his Italian heritage? 'The story focuses on Italian-Australian soldier Marshall Della Casa as he leaves to fight in South-East Asia, where he joins a tight-knit group of young men. After the war, these soldiers find themselves attempting to acclimate to life back home with sex and drugs as they face both depression and withdrawal. When their paths diverge, the focus returns to Marshall as he sojourns to his homeland in Italy. Finally, the story brings all the men back together to determine their fates. Ribald humour and antics aside, this is largely a story about how most returned soldiers were different men to the boys they had been before the conflict. An honest tale about friendship among veterans.' - Kirkus Reviews.

Autorenporträt
Frederick Mulae is an award-winning author of three novels and an often-comical, realistically raw autobiography. He is a natural storyteller, utilising his social sciences learnings to write deeply realistic characters. Born in bleak post-war Italy, he migrated to Australia with his family at the impressionable age of seven. As an adult, he went into the commercial and humanistic sectors-travelling extensively, learning much about the people and cultures around the world.Frederick resides in Sydney, Australia, with his wife near their three adult children and eight grandchildren. During his down time, he enjoys the great outdoors; camping, fishing, and travelling. He is a semi-retired teacher and lecturer, motivational trainer and speaker, as well as working in the property sector. Bringing fresh stories to life, keeping readers turning pages, and offering an escape from the everyday makes him happy as an author, and he hopes to transport readers to new worlds.
