ANIMALS IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR (SHIRE) (PB)

Throughout the Second World War, millions of animals were enlisted, and demonstrated loyalty, determination and bravery as they shared the burden of war with their human companions. From the dogs trained to locate air-raid victims buried under rubble, to the mules that carried ammunition and supplies through the jungles of the Far East, each animal played a crucial role in the war effort. This fascinating book draws from first-hand accounts and contemporary sources to reveal the wide-ranging contributions that animals made both on and off the battlefield.
