A Sentry Dog Handler's View of Vietnam from the Perimeter of Phan Rang Air Base
Carl S. Adams
An up-close look at the life of a nineteen-year-old dog handler assigned to
protect one of America's largest air bases during the Vietnam War. Adams
focuses on the special bonds between the sentries and their dogs and among the
dog handlers themselves, rather than on the blood and mud of battle. These heroic
teams saved more than 10,000 American lives, yet, at war's end, the dogs
were declared “surplus equipment” and were either destroyed or turned
over to the South Vietnamese military. This book is intended to honor all those
who served.
