Colin O’Neill, a National conscript in the Australian Army in 1967-69, provides his honest reflection of service in Vietnam and with respect to civil aid programs.

An eye-opening account that varies from the harsh realities of war to the inside of a career as an unsworn member in the Victorian Police Department and fulfilling the role of head of school security for the Victorian Education Department.

A life given to serving, protecting, and preventing crime, Colin’s story is filled with humour, notorious and unbelievable truths, and an unmatchable glimpse into these three worlds during the 60s through to the 90s.

Recounting a life of service by a man seeming to be above it all for duty and country…

“An inspiring and authentic sharing of a life lived in service of this country and its people… Colin O’Neill is a true hero of Australia…” Wendy, Readalot reviewer
