DOMINOES and MARBLES
AUTHOR: Kerry White
In
the 1960s the Domino Theory, fear of
communist expansion through Asia, is used to
justify going to war in Vietnam; to boost
Army numbers, Australia introduces National
Service for young men selected by a ballot
using marbles representing birth dates … one
of those selected was Kerry White . His
story begins with his time in Vietnam , then
recalling his life before call-up and on
being back home after discharge … as the war
goes on, the headlines confront him every
day and night … This memoir is based on
memory, reflection and imagination.
