Biography & Memoir History Australiana
K.C. Laughton’s Not Quite Men, No Longer Boys recounts the little-told journey of an Aboriginal conscript sent to fight in the Vietnam War. Told with unflinching honesty, the memoir bridges boyhood on country and the sudden weight of jungle combat, spotlighting the double outsider status of an Indigenous digger in 1960s Australia.
The 352-page 1999 paperback is in tidy, gently read shape: cover shows light scuffing and edge creases, pages are clean, binding tight, no writing or dog-ears, from a smoke-free home. Perfect for collectors of Australian military or Aboriginal biography.
Readers seeking Indigenous voices, Vietnam-era history, or raw coming-of-age true stories will find this rare title a compelling addition to any Australiana, military memoir, or cultural studies shelf.
