“Cry Havoc – and let loose the dogs of war.”
From Babylonian war dogs to modern explosive detection dogs, canines have long been a soldier’s best friend. In this unique book, Nigel Allsopp, a highly experienced war dog handler, details how dogs have been indispensable in military and police operations.
Using highly sensitive materials from nearly 50 nations, Allsopp moves from country by country to explain how dogs have been used for patrolling, guarding, search and rescue and many other specialised tasks. Two photo galleries with colour photos show war dogs and their handlers in action.
Allsopp started his military career as a military dog handler in the Royal New Zealand Air Force Police.
