- Annotation
- Extensive study of the horse's critical role in modern warfare (from saddle horse to workhorse) through an examination of primary works between 1550 and 1950 that shaped historical thought on horsemanship and cavalry. Subchapter treats Hemingway's employment of the bullfight in Death in the Afternoon as an extended metaphor for war, with the ring representing the battlefield and horses representing both humans and horses in battle.
