Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan

Opinión destacada

10/10

The real story of Danger Close

Even if you are not Australian (I am) or a New Zealander, you would be well advised to watch this scary, but stangely fascinating story of The Battle of Long Tan during the Vietnam War if you like this sort of stuff. The 108 Aussies and Kiwis incredibly fought off two regiments of North Vietnamese numbering about 2500 troops, with casualties numbering 17 killed (one died of wounds) and 24 wounded. No matter which side you listen to, the VC/NVA casualty numbers were very high considering the size of the two forces, with most killed by artillery fire. The feature film Danger Close, which I am told by Vietnam vets is incredibly realistic, has some fascinating backstories that viewers might find interesting (true or not) as companion viewing.
