520    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 
       Eighty-Dollar Champion comes the riveting true story of 
       the valiant rescue of priceless pedigree horses in the 
       last days of World War II. As the Russians closed in on 
       Hitler from the east and the Allies attacked from the west,
       American soldiers discovered a secret Nazi effort to 
       engineer a master race of the finest purebred horses. With
       the support of U.S. general George S. Patton, a passionate
       equestrian, the Americans planned an audacious mission to 
       kidnap these beautiful animals and smuggle them into safe 
       territory—assisted by a daring Austrian colonel who was 
       both a former Olympian and a trainer of the famous 
       Lipizzaner stallions. --Publisher
