The title itself requires some explanation. Pogo is an acronym from the British military which means - "Personnel on garrison operations". In other words people like clerks, cooks, medics etc who were not at the front line.
It was a bit of a misnomer in Viet Nam as there was no such thing as a front line.
The book will be of interest to any reader not just veterans. It commences as my experiences being called up for National Service, the rigors of training and discipline then details my tour of duty in Viet Nam. I served in an Armoured Unit - A Sqn 3 Cav Regt.
On completion of my tour if relates my experiences on return to a hostile Australia then the down hill spiral of emotion.
It then explains the affect that service had on wives, partners, family and loved ones. It goes on to list treatments and management skills available to all.

A gift for my nephew who loves all things military. He thoroughly enjoyed the book and passed it on to some of his uni History mates who also enjoyed it.

Comments about A Pogo's Perspective:
Author concentrated mostly on his personal battle with depression rather than his time in service, I wasn't very impressed.
