The Perfect Horse
THE DARING U.S. MISSION TO RESCUE THE PRICELESS STALLIONS KIDNAPPED BY THE NAZIS

Written by Elizabeth Letts

Ballantine Books | HC | 978-0-345-54480-3 | 400 pp. | $28.00

>From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Eighty-Dollar Champion, The Perfect Horse tells the remarkable story of the heroic rescue of priceless horses in the closing days of World War II.

"Letts, a lifelong equestrienne, eloquently brings together the many facets of this unlikely, poignant story underscoring the love and respect of man for horses. . . The author's elegant narrative conveys how the love for these amazing creatures transcends national animosities." - Kirkus Reviews

"Passionately told and dazzling in scope, The Perfect Horse charges headlong into an unforgettable tale of World War II, when good men were given a final mission---to save beloved horses---at an hour when no one wanted to die. In Elizabeth Letts, the saga of World War II's white stallions has found its perfect guardian." - Adam Makos, author of A Higher Call

Ohio University


	

The Department of History at Ohio University is tied with Case Western Reserve University (private) and Miami University (public) as the second-ranked history program in the state of Ohio. Our mission is to further the effective understanding of the past for use in the contemporary world, to expose students to the histories and cultures of all the world's peoples, and to provide high quality training for a variety of careers.

The department offers B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees as well as teaching and research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Our doctoral program, which focuses on contemporary (post-1945) history, is one of two in Ohio recognized by the Board of Regents for the past twenty years as deserving state subsidy.

The Department of History has for many years been one of the premier departments at Ohio University, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. It maintains the most rigorous of standards in both teaching and scholarship, it teaches an increasing number of students, it produces an unusual amount of quality scholarship for its size (23 full-time faculty), and it enjoys a national and international reputation that compares favorably with peer institutions. The focus on contemporary history continues to give a unique visibility within the historical profession.
