"So far from home" by Andrew Grant. Published 2013.
The story of the Australian 9th Infantry Brigade in Korea and their struggle to find a way home.
Caught in a war nobody expected, the 9th Brigade was almost exclusively made up of reservists and equipped with obsolete equipment replaced in most other units a decade or more before. With all other units preparing to fight the expected Indonesian invasion, they were deployed in June 1997 in response to the UN call for troops to bolster the South Korean defences. Initially tasked with rear area security, they soon found themselves pushed forward into the nuclear battlefield.
This is their story and how they fought through six years of hell and came home heroes.
