Book Reviews of A Soldier's Best Friend: Scout Dogs and Their Handlers in the Vietnam War
Book Review: A Soldier's Best Friend
Summary: 5 Stars
The author is NOT a great writer. But he lived the story and the book rings true to me, a fellow dog handler in Vietnam in 1968. Although his experiences are obviously not the same as I had, he captures the essence of the times, the place and the emotions. I recently odered extra copies through Amazon.com to give to each of my kids so they could get a glimpse at what those times were like and the small part I played in them.
