Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Millions have been entertained by the viral video of a man being arrested after a 'succulent Chinese meal'. But when Mark Dapin investigated, it emerged that this man's story went to the heart of the Australian underworld. A true crime cult classic in the making. This edition featuring a new Afterword. Whether you know it as the 'succulent Chinese meal' video, or 'democracy manifest', chances are you have seen the video of baritone larrikin Jack Karlson getting arrested outside a Brisbane Chinese restaurant in 1991. The Guardian called it 'perhaps the pre- eminent Australian meme of the last 10 years'. When Karlson called crime writer Mark Dapin out of the blue, though, Dapin hadn't heard of him. But there was enough that intrigued him about this theatrical outlaw to continue the conversation. Over the following months a dark and complex past emerged. It turned out that Karlson had been in the background of many notorious incidents in late-twentieth century Australian crime, from collaborating with infamous prison-playwright Jim McNeil to befriending hitman Christopher Dale Flannery (Mr Rent-a-Kill). But most shockingly of all, Karlson's life story led Dapin to shed new light on a number of unsolved murders, by two serial killers. The result is an extraordinary, deeply revealing portrait of Australian crime from the 60s to the 2010s a portrait of carnage.' Carnage is a classic Australian crime story.' Gary Jubelin, author of I Catch Killers'True crime at its grim and richly entertaining best, and let's face it its truest .' Robert Drewe, author of The Shark Net'If ever there was a book crammed with colorful villains who are mad, bad and dangerous to know, it's definitely Mark Dapin's extraordinary book, Carnage .'

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The untold story of the ordinary Australians conscripted to fight in our most controversial war, by one of our most celebrated journalists.On 10 March 1965, the first nasho's birthdate was drawn from a lottery barrel at the Department of Labour and National Service in Melbourne. Over the next seven years, a total of 63740 young Australian men would be drafted into the army and face the prospect of being sent to war.The nashos came from all walks of life- plumbers and dentists, footballers and musicians, Christians and Jews, willing and unwilling. Some spent their two years square-bashing in Singleton. Others went to Vietnam to fight - and die - in Australia's bloodiest battles, including the slaughter at Long Tan.But our ideas of national service contain strange contradictions and inaccuracies- that the draft was unpopular but militarily necessary; that the nashos in Vietnam all volunteered to go to war; and that they were met by protesters and demonstrations on their return to Australia, rather than the huge welcome-home parades reported at the time.Here, Mark Dapin dramatically deconstructs the folklore of Vietnam and national service. Drawing on the accounts of over one hundred and fifty former national servicemen, The Nashos' War tells a vastly more personal and nuanced story of national service and Australia's Vietnam War than that previously heard. Most powerfully, it records with extraordinary intensity what it was like to be a bank clerk one day, and fighting for your life in the jungles of Vietnam soon afterwards.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From Simpsons donkey and the Emu War to Vietnam and Ben Roberts-Smith, Australian military history is full of events that didnt happen the way most people think they did. In his inimitable style, award-winning author Mark Dapin sets the record straight. Australia has many stories and statues lest we forget our military past. But from Simpsons donkey to Ben Roberts-Smith, our history is full of events that didnt happen the way most people think they did. The first Anzac Day, for example, was far from being a solemn march it was a celebration where people dressed as cavemen and dinosaurs, among other things. And is it true that British officers callously dispatched Australian soldiers to their deaths in the Dardanelles, as weve been told? Did we really hate the soldiers returning from Vietnam? Were the white-feather women of the First World War fact or fiction? In his inimitable style, award-winning author and historian Mark Dapin sets the record straight, showing that the reality was often completely different from the myth and that in celebrating the wrong people we often overlook the real heroes. With Lest, Mark Dapin transforms his trademark humour into serious history It forces us to look again at stories we think we all know or should know and reframe them with intellectual rectitude and rigour Lest offers new perspectives on the past from one of Australias most interesting and provocative thinkers.

Mark Dapin could never be accused of glorifying crime, but he is guilty as sin for understanding it. Inhabited by flawed humans, filled with violence, humour, tears and dreams, Carnage is a classic Australian crime story. Gary Jubelin, author of I Catch Killers 'True crime at its grim and richly entertaining best, and lets face it its truest. Robert Drewe, author of The Shark Net If ever there was a book crammed with colourful villains who are mad, bad and dangerous to know, its definitely Mark Dapins extraordinary book, Carnage. Kate McClymont, author of He Who Must Be Obeid Carnage is a window into Australian mayhem, killingly funny and beautifully told. Dapin finds pathos in a twisted world. Matthew Spencer, author of Black River Carnage begins by probing what seems a minor curiosity an internet meme centred on a colourful character then takes a turn into the lives of traumatised youths hurled without care or thought into brutalising reformatories. From there they graduate to rorts, robberies, violence. Bleak lives interspersed with occasional forays into squaresville spouses, kids, even jobs and attempts at betterment via theatre and literature. A unique, deeply felt take on the Australian underworld.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In the Australia of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, armed robbers were the top of the criminal food chain. Their dash and violence were celebrated, and men like Russell 'Mad Dog' Cox and Ray Denning were household names long before Underbelly established Melbourne's gangland thugs as celebrities. Cox and Denning were once Australian Public Enemies Number One and Two. Both were handsome, charismatic bandits who refused to bow to authority. Both were classified as 'intractable' in prison, and both escaped. Cox was the only man to escape from Katingal, Australia's only 'escape-proof' jail. Soon after he broke out, he tried to break in again and rescue his mates.Their story is one of violence and crime, but it is also about the unimaginable horrors that young boys faced when condemned to 'institutions' in the 1960s, and the terrible conditions in Australian jails in the 70s and 80s. These were the hells where a whole generation of armed robbers was forged. Mark Dapin brings his brilliant research skills and distinctive, powerful narrative style to a book that explores the life of these infamous yet respected public enemies and the criminal world they inhabited. From armed robberies, shootings and bashings to prison floggings and jail breaks, this is the gritty, page-turning reality behind the headlines.
