During the twentieth century at least 125,000 Australian soldiers contracted VD while serving in overseas deployments - the equivalent of six World War I infantry divisions. No one has previously told this alarming story in its entirety, and few authors could tell it as frankly or objectively as Ian Howie-Willis. As readers will soon realise, Dr Howie-Willis has dealt with this confronting subject candidly but sensitively. His scholarship in this carefully researched book is immaculate, but the book's great strength is its fairness to and compassion for the tens of thousands of people who succumbed to sexually transmitted diseases as a result of Australia's military involvements across a century of overseas deployments. - from Trove.Black dust-jacket over black hard-cover book.
