Moving story of combat tracker dogs during the Vietnam War

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 Vietcong with the tender relationship between a naive young Australian soldier and his larrikin labrador-kelpie cross, Caesar.
