"Down from the Mountain: The Path of a Baby Boomer" will be part of the 2024 London Book Fair this coming March 12 to 14, 2024 at Olympia, London.

From fending off enemy troops to simply surviving in the harsh jungle environment, Vickery gives readers a detailed look at the life of an Australian soldier in Vietnam. Despite having no interest in joining the Army, Vickery recounts his academic difficulties and hurdles, which gave way when he displayed an aptitude in the military. There he rose to the rank of platoon commander in Vietnam, serving an eventful tour with an enormous array of adventures that he describes. Beyond the fighting and patrolling, Vickery's portrays how great friendships can be formed amidst hardship and common deprivation.

According to Vickery, his is a path followed by many of those born during the post-war years, hence the term Baby Boomers. By sharing his story he also gives readers a glimpse of what others of his generation went through, all in the pages of "Down from the Mountain: The Path of a Baby Boomer."
