War

Based on impeccable and wide-ranging research (including letters, journals and other first-hand accounts) and featuring dozens of fascinating, surprising and often poignant images, every aspect of animal involvement in the midst of the world's greatest and bloodiest of conflicts will be examined. In telling the stories of diggers and the creatures great and small they came to rely on, The Diggers' Menagerie promises to appeal to lovers of animals and military history alike; it is an affirmation of the bond between humans and animals, tested and tempered in the cauldron of war.
