Description
Summary:	While the propaganda of the day was exposing various causes for World War I, history shows that without horses and donkeys, the first world war could never have been fought. Combatants needed horses for transporting everything from artillery to injured soldiers. Casualties would have been incalculably higher, weapons would never have arrived and the allies would never have gotten the upper hand without our equine contributors. ... from the general's horse to the ammunition supply donkey, all acting above and beyond the call of duty to keep soldiers alive and win the war. --Back cover.
