| For 30 years the British government kept most of the records of this undeclared war under wraps. This book tells the story of two small warships, manned by New Zealanders that helped protect the newly independent Federation of Malaysia from Indonesian insurgents during those turbulent years of 1965-66. These were the first New Zealand warships manned in part by Volunteer Naval Reserve officers in a conflict zone since World War II and the last to be involved in a hot action with a known enemy. With 190 pages and many photographs and maps, the book explains the background, lead-up and much detail of the naval effort in that conflict. Principally this story is about HMNZS Hickleton and Santon and those who served in them. Order DIRECT from Gerry Wright Price $A30.00 postage included to Australia. Our story is much the same as of those in the 16th as we all worked together in the Inshore Flotilla, Singapore. |
