I received a free ARC copy of this via NetGalley and the publishers in return for an unbiased review. I had expected it to be about the horses who’ve become famous in history - Warrior, Copenhagen, Marengo, etc. But this felt more like a book that occasionally referred to them as part of an in depth replay of various battles. If you want a blow by blow account of battles, with endless descriptions of the armour, swords, guns, tactics... this is the book for you. If you wanted to know more about the horses and their lives - I’d advise you try other books. I ended up having to chip away at this in small doses before my tolerance for equipment and battle description was reached, and then patience exhausted, I power read through the last third of the book.

Very informative book about horses used in war time throughout history . And the roles they played to help win the war.
