Four-Fisted Tales: Animals in Combat by Ben Towle
3.0
Filled with very short, threw or four page stories of animals that have been to war. Animals that have helped in the fighting of wars, and animals that have died in wars.
Most striking was how Messenger Pigeons were used well into the second world war when all else forms of communication failed.
Sad stories of animals lost in battle and wounded. But stories are so short that you don't really get invested in any stories. It is often more like a bit of trivia, such as the story of the US Navy and the dolphins they wanted to use to in battles.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
