The story of the Mongolian mare, who, despite only measuring about thirteen hands high, became an American hero for her actions during the Korean War, being awarded two Purple Hearts for her valor and being officially promoted to staff sergeant twice, a distinction never bestowed upon an animal before or since.

A truly fantastic nonfiction novel. Robin Hutton captures the full life of Sgt. Reckless, a mare plucked from her home stable to help the American Marines during the Korean War. With stories from her companions, Reckless comes alive off the page. Many times I couldn't help but laugh at the little horse's attitude. An excellent read.
