About the "From Vietnam Nasho to Catching School Crooks"
In this book, Colin O'Neill provides his honest reflection of service in Vietnam. An eye-opening account that varies from the harsh realities of war to the inside of a career as an unsworn member in the Victorian Police Department and fulfilling the role of Head of School Security for the Victorian Education Department.

A life given to serving, protecting, and preventing crime, Colin's story is filled with humour, notorious and unbelievable truths, and an unmatchable glimpse into this time during the 60s through to the 90s.
