World War II is remembered as the war of machines: tanks breaking through the Ardennes, bombers darkening European skies, and convoys of trucks pushing supplies to the front. Yet beneath the roar of engines moved another, quieter power — millions of horses and mules, whose muscles pulled the very sinews of war.

The Role of the Horse in the Second World War: The Hidden Machine uncovers the forgotten story of these animals, restoring them to the centre of the world’s most mechanised conflict. Far from being relics of the past, horses proved indispensable on every front. Germany invaded the Soviet Union with 600,000 in harness; the Red Army mobilised 3.5 million more. Across Europe and Asia, animals hauled artillery, dragged wagons through mud and snow, and carried supplies where engines faltered.

This remarkable book explores:

  • Myth versus reality — why blitzkrieg was never fully mechanised, and how horses remained essential even in a modern war.
  • Logistics of muscle — the staggering scale of fodder, farriery, and veterinary chains that kept millions of animals in service.
  • The Soviet cavalry-mechanised synthesis

The book does an excellent job dismantling the myth that blitzkrieg was fully mechanized. The explanation of how German and Soviet forces depended on horses for movement through harsh terrain is incredibly illuminating. A must-read for history enthusiasts.

This book proves that assumption wrong. The incredible numbers—millions of service animals—show that horsepower was just as crucial as engine power. The comparisons of vehicle breakdowns versus animal endurance were especially enlightening.

Most history books briefly mention horses, but this one explains their true impact. I particularly liked the global approach, covering Europe and Asia. It’s refreshing to see a book that goes beyond the usual Western-focused narratives.

This book shows that the popular image of World War II leaves out a huge part of the story. The author explains why engines failed in harsh terrain and how horses stepped in. I appreciated the balanced approach between military analysis and humane storytelling.
