The first biography of a Scottish socialite who in 1930s Cairo founded a charity to rescue British war horses which lives on to this day as the Brooke Animal Charity.

Scottish socialite Dorothy Brooke's founding of a charity in 1930s Cairo tasked with rescuing British war horses makes for an evocative and well-researched biography in the hands of "From Stray Dog To World War I Hero" author Grant Hayter-Menzies, with Brooke's full life story given and her legacy considered.
