Throughout human history, however, animals have also played significant roles in our armed conflicts. In \u003ci\u003eAnimals in the Military: From Hannibal's Elephants to the Dolphins of the U.S. Navy\u003c\/i\u003e, author John M. Kistler examines these contributions, describing the work of animals in human warfare throughout time, from lowly insects to birds to elephants. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on both ancient and modern sources, the book reveals the full scope of heroics and horror committed by--and against--animal warriors in three unique areas: animals in combat, animals in support, and animals in incidental and experimental roles. Each chapter describes a single species, chronologically recounting its fascinating place in human warfare over time, from insects used as stinging projectiles to message-delivering pigeons.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn M.
