Towle, Ben Four-Fisted Tales (168247416X)
In virtually every military conflict in recorded history animals have fought--and often died--alongside their human counterparts. While countless stories of the men and women who've served in the trenches, jungles, and deserts of the world's battlefields have been told,
Four-Fisted Tales: Animals in Combat shares the stories of the animals who fought alongside them.
From Hannibal's elephants in ancient Rome to mine-sniffing rats in Vietnam and everything in between,
Four-Fisted Tales highlights the real-life contributions of these underappreciated animal warriors. Whether in active combat or simply as companions, these animals served and made their mark on history.
