Product Description
Product Description
An account of the many courageous animals who went beyond the bounds of training and duty to display selfless acts of devotion in war. These animals have been the silent heroes of many wars over the last 150 years, from the Afghan Wars of 1879 to Rob, Britain's most decorated animal hero, who served with the SAS during World War Two. With new research and eye witness accounts Evelyn le Chene places each animal's heroism in the context of the battle or campaign in which they served, including maps and a wealth of archive photographs (many published for the first time) to evoke the valiant deeds of the brave animals to have served their country.
About the Author
Evelyn le Chene is the widow of an agent with the Special Operation Executive. She has previously published two other books, is a frequent broadcaster and writes for several newspapers.

Format:Hardcover
Numerous stories of animals and their 'dedication' to man during war and conflicts. Can be easily read by each chapter although you'll feel compelled to learn about the next heroic animal. An easy way to learn some history too. Ideal reading for any animal lover and/or historian, from mid teenager through to grandparent. Well worth the money!
Format:Hardcover
The true life stories of animal bravery were touching, amazing and a must read for all animal lovers. This book shows just how amazing animals are and how loyal and protective they are - so much so many of them are unsung hero's, until you read this book!
