Reviewed by Reverend Dr. Wylie W. Johnson, chaplain (retired), US Army War College class of 2010

In total war, the nation calls on everyone to direct all resources toward victory—during World War II, that call extended to man’s best friend. Retired military chaplain Dr. Wylie W. Johnson reviews certified animal behavior consultant Susan Bulanda’s Military Dogs of World War II, a photographic history that highlights the value of dogs to the mission of the US military and reminds readers, as Johnson observes, of “the critical contributions made by every level of the force.”
