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

5.0

Received an ARC from the author. An amazing story spanning several decades and giving a generous backstory on the men, horses, and places involved. The actual rescue of several hundred Arabian and Lippizaner horses from German control was but a brief blip in the dangers these creatures and their handlers faced both before and after. It's remarkable that so many were able to survive and just how close some ancient breeds came to being wiped out because they were either deemed unimportant or for the sake of creating a superior master breed of horse. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in WWII history and horses.
