N2  - "This is a personal story about the involvement of a young, supposedly professional, soldier in two of Southeast Asia's wars, Borneo and Vietnam, and of those who shared the journey."--The Setting (page 583); In Plain View is uncommon history. The undeclared wars in Borneo and Vietnam of half a century ago provided very different experiences. This is the personal story of a young officer, and those with whom he worked and lived, who participated in both conflicts. It is a unique story in many respects, presenting back- ground, detail, and perspectives that are not commonly recorded elsewhere. Joining 7th Gurkha Rifles, the writer arrived in Hong Kong just in time to deploy to Borneo as a platoon commander during Confrontation - the undeclared war with Sukarno's Indonesia
