This book is a detailed biography of Sergeant Reckless, a small Mongolian mare purchased by U.S. Marines duri…ng the Korean War and trained to carry ammunition and supplies under fire. Drawing on interviews with Marines who served with her, the author recounts how the mare made dozens of solo trips through active combat, hauled tons of ammunition across minefields and steep terrain, evacuated wounded men, and became a beloved mascot and fellow ?Marine? to her unit. The narrative follows Reckless from her origins as a potential Korean racehorse through her combat service?where she earned multiple decorations, including two Purple Hearts?to her later life and recognition as one of America?s greatest war horses.
