Animals were often an essential part of wars and conflict experiences, either as military resource, as logistical element, or as comrade and friend of the human troops. How animals actually shaped human wars and these experiences is discussed in detail in this volume. It shows which roles different animals (horses, camels, dogs, reindeer etc.) played throughout martial human history and how this role is remembered or commemorated until today. The authors of the volume not only focus on the use of animals, but also on the human-animal relations that were established and shaped by a shared war experience. The scope of the book is chronologically broad, ranging from ancient to modern time periods, as well as geographically global. All contributions intend to broaden our understanding of the role animals played throughout our own violent past and the history of human made conflicts.
