war, a small troop of battle-weary American soldiers captures a German spy and makes an astonishing find—his briefcase is empty but for photos of beautiful white horses that have been stolen and kept on a secret farm behind enemy lines. Hitler has stockpiled the world’s finest purebreds in order to breed the perfect military machine—an equine master race. But with the starving Russian army closing in, the animals are in imminent danger of being slaughtered for food. With only hours to spare, one of the U.S. Army’s last great cavalrymen, Colonel Hank Reed, makes a bold decision—with General George Patton’s blessing—to mount a covert rescue operation. Racing against time, Reed’s small but determined force of soldiers, aided by several turncoat Germans, steals across enemy lines in a last-ditch effort to save the horses. Pulling together this multistranded story, Elizabeth Letts introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters: Alois Podhajsky, director of the famed Spanish Riding School of Vienna, a former Olympic medalist who is forced to flee the bomb-ravaged Austrian capital with his entire stable in tow; Gustav Rau, Hitler’s imperious chief of horse breeding, a proponent of eugenics who dreams of genetically engineering the perfect warhorse for Germany; and Tom Stewart, a senator’s son who makes a daring moonlight ride on a white stallion to secure the farm’s surrender. A compelling account for animal lovers and World War II buffs alike, The Perfect Horse tells for the first time the full story of these events. Elizabeth Letts’s exhilarating tale of behind-enemy-lines adventure, courage, and sacrifice brings to life one of the most inspiring chapters in the annals of human valor. Praise for The Perfect Horse “Winningly readable . . . Letts captures both the personalities and the stakes of this daring mission with such a sharp ear for drama that the whole second half of the book reads like a WWII thriller dreamed up by Alan Furst or Len Deighton. . . . The right director could make a Hollywood classic out of this fairy tale.” —The Christian Science Monitor “Letts, a lifelong equestrienne, eloquently brings together the many facets of this unlikely, poignant story underscoring the love and respect of man for horses.”—Kirkus Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/1616194083182-FCNTSVVWYZ51EUFA4EP4/TPH+kids+final.jpg The Perfect Horse - Now Available Share the inspiring true story of American heroism with a new generation.

Annie traversed the country north, south, east and west, and found mostly a warm welcome, but a Black Americans traveling during this time period would not have found the same freedoms and courtesies that she found.. Middle-class black travelers gravitated toward automobile ownership to escape the humiliation of segregated public transportation, but automobile travel also created unique hardship and danger for African-Americans. Black travelers were routinely refused accommodation from whites-only establishments: hotels and restaurants, and service stations refused to serve them or provide automobile repairs. Black travelers were frequently subjected to arbitrary arrest or threats of violence as they passed through towns with "sundown laws” that did not allow African Americans within the town’s boundaries after sunset. Black automobile travelers had to plan carefully to avoid the cruel and widespread discriminatory practices— conditions that were not limited to traveling through southern states, but could occur anywhere in America. Some travelers carried portable toilets with them, knowing that many establishment would not allow black travelers to use their restrooms. While Annie relied mostly on gas station maps for navigation, Black automobile travelers relied on the “Green Book,” published between 1936 and 1966, which listed establishments in all fifty states that would welcome black travelers. The Green Book, written and published by Victor Hugo Green, was the most relied on resource for Black travelers during Annie’s era and was the source for the recent award-winning 2018 Hollywood film, Green Book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/1616615313832-4KB0QZZX5IVNDUO6HA8G/driving+while+black.jpg Annie's America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/1616615972380-AUI5QQLDYLPLYE3D4MV8/nmaahc-2014_302_61_001-1.jpeg Annie's America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/1616109868241-4SFIT6BM4X685DCSBLRE/1954+Chevy+Bel+Air.jpeg Annie's America - Cars In the 1950s, the automobile industry was booming. More and more families owned at least one car a . Along with the increased freedom of the family car came problems— roads not designed to accomodate so many cars became clogged with traffic, and with poor road design, (and no seat belts) traffic injuries and fatalities were increasing every year. In 1956, President Eisenhower signed Federal Aid Highway Act, spurring the completion of America’s vast interstate highway system— making cross-country travel easier than ever, but also, changing America’s vast network of small towns forever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/1616110899064-MIIW6GFLWW4ZW16M4OA2/BrownvBoardsteps-3-e1558032629681.jpeg Annie's America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/1616111076380-1RUFNV0DUXNK6G791CXG/Screen+Shot+2021-03-18+at+4.43.16+PM.png Annie's America 1954 Zenith TV https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/1616110654891-5PGQAYCFAXE450Z0Z15E/Army-McCarthy.jpeg Annie's America https://www.elizabethletts.com/my-blue-ribbon-horse daily 0.75 2022-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/4f35d4c5-378e-44bd-a9b5-246a4b3c7f41/Screen+Shot+2022-11-06+at+7.46.48+PM.png https://www.elizabethletts.com/the-distance-between-us-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.elizabethletts.com/turquoise-moon-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.elizabethletts.com/that-was-then-v1 daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.elizabethletts.com/behind-the-book daily 0.75 2026-03-28 https://www.elizabethletts.com/fallen-for-france daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/a4adae31-ae2d-40e3-9174-f5c08a43bf0e/9780593496916.jpg https://www.elizabethletts.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2026-03-30 https://www.elizabethletts.com/photos daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/38ceaad6-6ece-48e1-8f63-c77427a884b7/Elizabeth_Letts-10339-RT+8bitFlat.jpg Photos Credit: Nina Subin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/64a7fb2a-54fb-48eb-be54-eb5f4743d5f6/Elizabeth_Letts-0010202-RT+8bitFlat.jpg Photos Credit: Nina Subin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/08588c6f-79f2-4fcb-ae2a-feb9da66bd5d/Elizabeth_Letts-10239-RT+8bitFlat.jpg Photos Credit: Nina Subin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/6c35b87b-04c5-422a-b933-1d742f790a97/Elizabeth_Letts-10361-RT+8bitFlat.jpg Photos Credit: Nina Subin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60459cf0e63f657c39a45f5d/a81c032c-b9ae-4eb4-bf4c-14aa3acc332a/9780593496916.jpg Photos
