SAS- Phantoms Of The Jungle: A history of the Australian Special Air Service
Based on patrol reports and interviews with participants, this Australian miliary classic tells the fascinating story of the formation of the SAS, its secret role in Borneo during confrontation with Indonesia and its operations in Vietnam. The SAS operated deep behind enemy lines, conducting surveillance at close range, poised to spring into violent action at need. It was with good reason the Viet Cong came to call them Ma Rung - 'phantoms of the jungle'.

I have not read or seen a lot about the Australians (or New Zealand) in the Vietnam conflict so this was very good from that point of view.
There is an 'updated' version that brings the history of the Australian SAS as this book ends in the late 1980's.
A very good read for a much untold part of history.
