This is the story of one man’s struggle to develop the British War Dog School. Richardson began experimenting with military and police dogs in 1898, and in 1910 began petitioning for a British military dog program. He finally received official approval with support of officers who were unofficially, and successfully, using his dogs in the field. Over 2000 dogs were trained and sent to the front to work as Red Cross dogs, messengers, sentries and patrol dogs — the lives saved were estimated in thousands. Cummins recounts not only Richardson’s struggle, but also the history of war dogs through the ages. This book formed the basis for the documentary Dogs of War on the BBC series Inside Out, broadcast in 2006.

While the research of the films made prior to LOTR is interesting, those are all information that is avilable elsewhere as well. Although all 50 of the recipes are original, around 25 or so of the recipes, which were completely new to me were pretty good. He quotes his mother: "How can you tell children about such things? It would be too cruel."
But Zhanna's is a story that needs to be told and her son is the perfect person to tell it. I thought I had moved past these young adult romances, but after reading the Crescent chronicles I was hooked on Alyssa Rose Ivy's books. These illustrations are fine, but there are very few of them (I am not sure if the Penguin edition even includes all of the original Frech works). I am having a great time working through these songs. But then I'm as hooked on the Walter Neffs and Kathie Moffetts of the world as the contributors are; so here I am, 20 bucks or so poorer, but reasonably happy with the deal.
