The War of The Stray Dog
Nick Brazil
Throughout history, people have started wars for the strangest of reasons.
Whether it is a trashed pastry shop in Mexico City, an ear lopped off a sea captain in The Spanish Main or a lost dog in the Balkans, no cause is too trivial or obscure not to spill blood or capture treasure.
This book tells the story of these weird wars and many other strange and forgotten conflicts that have occurred over the centuries.
In doing so it throws a fascinating light on the darker side of human nature.
