IN 1967, AUSTRALIAN ENGINEERS LAID A MASSIVE 11-KILOMETRE MINEFIELD TO TRY AND CONTROL THE MOVEMENT OF THE VIET CONG AND NORTH VIETNAMESE ARMY. HOWEVER, THE ENEMY LIFTED THE MINES AND USED THEM AGAINST THE AUSTRALIANS THEY CAUSED MORE THAN 50-PERCENT OF THE CASUALTIES AMONGST THE DIGGERS. THIS EXAMINES THE DECISION TO BUILD IT AND THE PROBLEMS THAT AROSE WHEN THEY TRIED TO REMOVE THE BARRIER. THE BOOK A GREEN BAGGY SKIN GIVES AN AUSTRALIAN ENGINEER'S EXPERIENCES DURING THE REMOVAL.
