Any military rescue mention is likely to be an interesting subject in its own right, but there was one that took place during World War II that was set apart from many others by one factor: the targets were not human. This book delves into the buildup and execution of a mission to rescue the prized Lipizzaner horses from Russian capture, in what was one of the most intense operations of the Second World War.

I added this back in October 2014.
I had the good fortune to see the Lippizaner’s perform many years ago. They are magnificent animals and really look like they can fly. I’ve seen them featured in many films and watched some documentaries about them too.
Did you know they are born black and change to white in color as they mature?

I don’t read much non-fiction, but I love horses.
I love the magnificent animals too!
I was crazy about Lippizaners when I was a kid! This book sounds like I would love it😁
I was so lucky to actually see them perform.
What a cool fact! I need to find out more about these horses! I hope that you love the book when you get a chance to read it. 🙂
I will be reading it soon.
I would totally read this, Laura. I fell in love with the Lippizaners when I first saw that old Disney about the Spanish Riding School of Vienna and the horses.
I saw that too! And I saw the rescue in the movie about General Patton. Fascinating stuff!
Well this sounds really interesting! I had no idea that a rescue mission like this even happened. I kind of want to know more!
I’m really curious to learn more!
Beautiful horses. I always was a horse fan as a kid and I read tons of kids books about them.
I bet you read Farley’s books about The Black Stallion! I still have the entire series. Quite battered from many rereads. LOL
looks like a fantastic book. i know you love horses!
