The Perfect Horse: The Daring U.S. Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by the Nazis by Elizabeth Letts

5.0

I absolutely loved this book and the author’s writing. It is clear the amount of research she put into it. I have always wanted to visit the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, and this book has made me want to go even more. I had read “The Monuments Men”, which detailed the special operation of saving European art stolen by the Nazis. This book even mentioned that mission, and stated no such consideration was given to living creatures like the stolen horses. The bravery and sacrifices of the soldiers was moving, and I would recommend this book to anyone.
