The book, like the man, is a little rough around the edges; had it been polished a bit more I don't think it would adequately have represented a knockabout character.

I enjoyed the story, it has the feel of a bit of beer 'n bullshit down the pub reminiscing with a few mates about when this happened and how we did that, but you can tell there is a genuine affection for the dogs he works with and a real camaraderie with the friends he made. You get a sense of the action in Afghanistan without the non-stop, bullet by bullet account that you find in some memoirs. There is also a noticeable evolution in the author from impulsive kid to mature family man, not quite settled yet, but well on the way.

I would recommend War Dogs for the slightly different account it gives of the war in Afghanistan.… (more)
