Dogs at War

Dogs at War is a fascinating collection of true-life accounts of canine courage under fire. In military conflicts around the world, these often unsung heroes have proved themselves time and time again to be the soldier's best friend in moments of crisis, and many have won decorations for their acts of bravery. From the 'kamikaze' mine-attack dogs used by the Red Army to destroy panzers in the invading Wehrmacht's tank parks, to the parachuting dog who went into action with a British airborne division in World War Two, and the forgotten 'War Dogs' who saved up to 10,000 lives in the Vietnam War, these extraordinary stories will appeal not just to military history enthusiasts but to all true dog lovers.
