Summary
Ghost Riders tells the remarkable true story of an unlikely alliance in the final days of World War II. American and German soldiers joined forces in a daring mission to rescue hundreds of prized horses, including Lipizzaners and other rare breeds, from a stud farm in Czechoslovakia. Facing threats from advancing Soviet forces, these former enemies collaborated to save these valuable animals from certain destruction. Mark Felton chronicles this extraordinary episode of cooperation amid war, highlighting how shared purpose transcended national boundaries during one of history's darkest periods.
