Europe's twentieth-century history told through the incredible story of a horse- the Lipizzaner
Frank Westerman was born in 1964 and lived and worked in Moscow from 1997 to 2002 as correspondent for the leading Dutch NRC Handelsblad newspaper. Westerman is the author of five highly praised books. His work has been published in more than ten languages and has won many prizes.
Westerman’s account of the Lipizzaners’ remarkable survival makes
stirring reading. His tales of research in secret archives and
encounters with wartime veterans who helped with Operation Cowboy
have the subterfuge and tension of a thriller
*Sunday Telegraph*
A most charming book
*The Times*
Westerman's own unique process of hybridisation, his mix of travel
writing and history, yet again proves a winner… He proves himself
an enquiring and thoughtful historian
*Independent*
"When you touch a Lipizzaner, you’re touching history,” Westerman
was once told. His elegant book offers fascinating proof
*Financial Times*
A masterpiece
*De Standaard*
