This book is about what the title says, The Men who Persevered.

The Australian Army Training Team Vietnam, known simply as The Team.This is a thouroughly researched book and a import addition to any serious student of the Australian Involvement in Vietnam
Although I enjoyed the book, I think that many people will find it a bit hard to read. It is not what you would call light reading.
It has done extremely well in what it has set out to do and that is to put down on paper the history of The Team.
This, at times, can make for hard going. But as a history goes it is about as complete as you are going to get.
It even lists every member of The Team, Military Number, Name, Rank, AATTV Awards, Dates Served with The Team, Areas served with AATTV and Corps and general comments.

This is a very well researched and documented book, unique in it's portrait of Australia's most decorated Unit in Vietnam. A history from July 1962 until December 1972
