Review:

This is an eye-opening account of the many different ways in which animals have been involved in war and - on many occasions - have had a really significant impact on the outcome. Did you know that there is an Animals in War Memorial in London? Or that pigeons were used to take photos behind enemy lines? Attractive and colourful layout with plenty of pictures bring the stories alive. War Stories is an interesting series of books which take the reader behind some of the less well known aspects of war. They provide useful background information to history and citizenship studies. --parentsintouch.co.uk website Nov 12
