Description:When one thinks of war, armies of soldiers and assaults with bullets and bombs delivered by deadly machinery typically come to mind. Throughout human history, however, animals have also played significant roles in our armed conflicts.

Kistler examines these contributions, describing the work of animals in human warfare throughout time, from lowly insects to birds to elephants.Drawing on both ancient and modern sources, the book reveals the full scope of heroics and horror committed by--and against--animal warriors in three unique areas: animals in combat, animals in support, and animals in incidental and experimental roles. Each chapter describes a single species, chronologically recounting its fascinating place in human warfare over time, from insects used as stinging projectiles to message-delivering pigeons.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
