Since ancient times, animals have made history alongside humans: elephants became tanks, pigs became flamethrowers, and horses were the mainstay of armies. They stormed the Alps alongside Hannibal, saved entire battalions in the world wars, and were the first to conquer space. Whether anonymous or famous—like Napoleon's horse, Vizir—animals have accompanied humanity in its quest for conquest. How did the CIA attempt to transform ordinary cats into living spy devices? What role did beloved pets play in shaping the political image of Elizabeth II, Churchill, and French presidents? How did a bear rise to the rank of corporal? Jean-Baptiste Pattier and Emmanuel Chaunou reveal unknown facts about four-legged heroes: from the war elephants of antiquity and "unsinkable" ship cats to space dogs and diplomatic gifts that changed the course of negotiations.
