Perfect Horse: The Daring U.S. Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by the NazisKaye Lost in Shangrila. It‘s terrific. It takes place in New Guinea 🇬🇳 and doesn‘t have any war stuff or shooting. It‘s a bit like maybe Lost City of Z ? I haven‘t read that but these military people also get lost. It is really good and it comes in audio. 7y
