Summary of Trackers
Trackers is a gritty and moving story that reveals the Australian Army's little-known use of combat tracker dogs during the Vietnam War. A war veteran tells his story with vivid and compelling immediacy, blending the terror of hunting and encountering the elusive Viet Cong with the tender relationship between a naive young Australian soldier and his dog. A graphic portrayal of the timeless reality of war?the horror, the madness, the tedium, the dark humour?Trackers hurls you into a surreal world of seething jungles, random minefields, and lethal friendly fire. Amid the mayhem, the author finds vital refuge in the innocence of his larrikin labrador-kelpie cross, Caesar. Also an human interest story with enormous widespread appeal, both men and women of all ages will be touched by this special bond between man and dog.Australian Books
