Hardback. John Cribbin, City of Kingston. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Very goodPages: Good Markings: No markingsCondition remarks: Usual shelf wearA richly detailed work of local history, Moorabbin: A Pictorial History 1862-1994 chronicles the remarkable transformation of the Moorabbin municipality in Victoria, Australia, from its earliest European settlement through more than a century of growth and change. Drawing on an extensive archive of photographs, maps, and historical records, John Cribbin presents a vivid visual and narrative account of the communities, landmarks, and everyday lives that shaped this corner of Melbourne's southeastern suburbs. The work illustrates how farmland and market gardens gradually gave way to suburban development, capturing the social and civic evolution of the region across generations. Written with a warm, documentary tone, it serves as both an invaluable reference for local historians and a nostalgic journey for long-time residents who lived through the era it so carefully documents. Hardback.

*Sales/posting to the USA suspended*. Hard cover dust wrapper, 245pp, b&w plates. Light wear to dw/board edges, page edges lightly browned; a very good copy. In 1963, Captain Arthur Barry Petersen, then a member of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam, was sent to Darlac Province to recruit and train a special force of Montagnard troops which were financed and supported by the CIA. The tiger men of the Truong Son Force developed into a highly efficient guerilla unit. Working in the highlands of Vietnam was a political education for Petersen. Antagonism between the Montagnard and the new Vietnamese settlers and overlords was high. He played an active role in defusing the revolt which resulted from the simmering resentment between the two peoples and was awarded the Military Cross. Intrigue between the CIA, the French and the bordering Cambodian and Laotian nations was also a dangerous background to his work. Despite his success, however, in 1965, CIA intervention led to his removal from the highlands. This is his story of the development of a highly successful concept of warfare.

Petersen helped recruit and train Montagnard tribesmen in Darlac Province in the central highlands of South Vietnam into a special guerilla force.
