5.0 out of 5 stars Don't miss this one!!

She was a horse of a lifetime - literally for the many servicemen she saved. She earned this wonderful literary tribute, the great respect of her rank and retirement by comrades who refused to leave her behind after the war and the breathtaking sculpture recently erected at Quantico Marine Museum in VA. Anyone who has ever spent any time at all with horses (God bless every one them!) will be in awe of this little mare's calm courage under fire and her ability to understand and complete her job on the front line in Korea.

One of the most incredible war stories ever. Reckless was a true Marine and absolutely essential to the corps. Beloved by her fellow Marines. Know this equine war hero. Don't let this memory fade.

A detailed, moving account of the battles that helped to end the Korean War, this is a story of the inhumanity and humanities of war. It is about a very special horse and the love and loyalty she gave and received from men who needed a hero. The courage & loyalty shown by all of them will move you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth about our wars
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019

This is a book that all high school history classes should teach. America's brave military is not thanked or appreciated enough. The War Horse did her job without complaint or hesitation knowing she did her job for all.
An excellent read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A winner by a length.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2014

The book was extremely enjoyable. I just recently found out about Reckless and was thrilled
to find that such an enjoyable book was written about her. It was certainly an uplifting story about
such a brutal war.
Just fantastic stuff, nothing outlandish or outrageous either.
I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
