One of the most interesting books I have read on the history of Australians in war. Peter Haran writes an engaging account of both training dogs to work in the jungles and the work done by these war dogs and their handlers in Vietnam to keep Allied soldiers safe. ( )

This is an extraordinary book, highlighting the work of the tracker dogs in the Australian Army during the Vietnam war, from the perspective of one of the handlers, author Peter Haran. The courage and loyalty of the dogs stands in sharp contrast to the short-sightedness of the military, and its refusal to bring the dogs home as Australia pulled out of the conflict. ( )
