Summary
The Odd Angry Shot: A Year in the Life of Aussie SAS in Vietnam
Brief and bracing, tragic yet darkly funny, The Odd Angry Shot is an award winning commentary on Vietnam, following a close-knit group of knockabout SAS fighters: their friendships, homesickness and fears; their practical jokes, drinking and fighting.
Chronicling their experiences over one year, readers learn that their enemy is not just the Vietcong, but their superiors, the mud and torrential rain, and boredom…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘This autobiographical novel stands the test of time, revealing human faces caught in a tragic chapter of Australian history.’
‘Short, pithy and powerful.’ Dominion Post ‘This autobiographical novel stands the test of time, revealing human faces caught in a tragic chapter of Australian history.’ SMH/Age/Canberra Times ‘Evoking a time and place that can still provoke anger, here is a book long overdue for a reprint.’ Launceston Examiner ‘A savage and mordantly funny novel…Visceral and immediate, irreverent and agonised, the story pules with the plea to “remember…remember”…The narrative slams its way onwards, in brief, brutal, battering scenes like bursts of gunfire, unexpectedly modulating into moments of wistful hope…Nagle takes no prisoners, makes no excuses. It’s a story without sentiment, but packed with passion and compassion. Its damaged young men are the core of a shocking, sundering little book that punches far above its length.’ Auckland Weekend Herald
